The leadership of the Bureau of Social Services and the Osun State Universal Basic Education Board held a joint inspection of educational facilities in public schools across Ila/Ifedayo/Boluwaduro Federal Constituency.

This was in line with the need to ensure that contractors handling various UBEC/SUBEB intervention programmes in the State comply with set standards.

At NUD Primary School, Otan Ayegbaju, the team inspected the repair and renovation works carried out on 3-Blocks of classrooms which was carried out under the UBEC/ SUBEB 2018 Intervention.
