The Local Government Universal Basic Education Authority in Ogbomoso North, located at Oja Tuntun in Oyo State, is in a dilapidated state that urgently requires attention. Under the supervision of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (Oyo-SUBEB), this facility has been left to deteriorate, hindering the ability of staff to fulfill their roles effectively.
An investigation into the condition of the structure reveals alarming neglect. Almost all offices within the building are in significant disrepair, undermining the daily operations of the officers who occupy them. The first office inspected has suffered extensive damage due to a lack of regular maintenance. Notably, the roof has completely collapsed, resulting in the growth of vegetation within the office space.
In the Administrative office, the situation is equally dire, with severe leaks that have exposed staff to a challenging working environment. While all employees were seen going about their responsibilities under these unfortunate conditions. Most concerning is the office of the Education Secretary, where conditions are surprisingly unfit for such a prestigious role. Here, the roof is compromised to the extent that the officer was seen working amidst puddles of water, highlighting the urgent need for intervention.
As the rainy season progresses, the need for immediate action becomes even more critical. Every corner of the Local Government Universal Basic Education Authority, Ogbomoso North, requires complete repair to create a safe and functional working environment for the staff.
This situation is a clarion call to the Chairman of Ogbomoso North Local Government Authority and the Oyo State Government to promptly address these issues. The current state of the facilities not only poses a risk to the health and safety of staff but also undermines the educational mission of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board.

In conclusion, the phrase “a stitch in time saves nine” resonates strongly in this context. Timely and decisive action is needed to restore this vital educational facility and ensure that the workforce can operate in a conducive environment. The future of education in Ogbomoso North depends on it.
