“By 2030, Oyo State will be well positioned to develop a strong digital learning, which will have a transformational impact on the state and entire nation at large,” said Adeniran.

Recall that EIDU trained 25 staff of the board, attended by selected Head teachers, class teachers and Quality Assurance officers from Ona-ara, Iseyin, Ogbomoso South, and Ibadan South West.

The training was aimed at equipping them with necessary digital skills, in preparation for the new session.
