Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola has constituted the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), naming an ex-federal lawmaker, Mr. Ajibola Famurewa, as the executive chairman.

A statement last night by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Ismail Omipidan, listed other members of the board as follows: Chief Moshood Adekunle Oluawo, Commissioner, Technical; former state lawmaker Mr. Amos Akindiya, Commissioner, Services; Ayo Olajolo, member representing Osun East; and Rafiu Olaide Fatoki, member representing Osun West.

Oyetola said the appointments, which take immediate effect, are in line with the government’s commitment to delivering quality basic education to the people.

Famurewa, a registered engineer, Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers and two-term member of the House of Representatives, was a member of the House Committee on Basic Education.

He led the Ilerioluwa Campaign Organisation, the platform that produced Oyetola first as a candidate and later as a governor, as its director-general.

Famurewa is expected to bring his years of experience as a member of the House Committee on Basic Education to bear in the discharge of his new assignment.

Governor Oyetola wishes the appointees well in their new offices.
