Fayemi sets target for teachers in 2020 WAEC, NECO examinations

Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi has urged teachers to be focused and diligent for the state to be ranked among the best five states in the country in public examinations in 2020.

Fayemi, who stated this yesterday while commissioning a block of classrooms built by the Universal Basic Education Board at the Methodist Nursery/Primary School, Ikere-Ekiti, represented by the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr. Funminiyi Afuye, said that he was not comfortable when the state was ranked 12th position in the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) results in 2019, assuring the teachers that his government would provide enabling environment in all public schools for teachers to deliver optimally.

The governor, represented by the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr. Funminiyi Afuye, said: “We are not comfortable with that 12th position. Education was on the bare ground in 2010 when we came for the first term. We lifted it to be one of the best before 2014.”
