Former Governor of Osun State, Prince
Olagunsoye Oyinlola, was today matriculated as a post graduate student at
the National Open University, Osogbo Campus.
Oyinlola, who retired from the military as a
Brigadier General enrolled at the university for Post Graduate Diploma in
Theology.
The Centre Director of NOUN, Osogbo campus,
Dr. Yemisi Pitan, advised the former governor and other matriculating students to focus on their studies and be
good ambassadors of the institution.
Pitan asked the students to take their
studies seriously, saying the centre would not tolerate laziness and any
anti-social behaviour.
Oyinlola lamented inadequate funding of the
education sector in the country and he advised the Federal Government to invest
more in the sector for the development of the nation.
He said he decided to study Theology in
order to know God more and added that he could become a preacher of the gospel.
Oyinlola said, ” The Federal Government
should invest more in the education sector. It is a critical sector which must
be given attention for any nation to develop.
“Nigeria will be greater if we invest more
in the education sector and Nigerian universities will rank among the best in
the world with the proper funding of the sector.”
