Akure—ONDO State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko yesterday said that the Mega Primary Schools Initiative introduced by his administration in the State was a promise fulfilled.

He pointed out that his administration made a concerted effort to break the traditional jinx of lopsidedness in access to qualitative education between the children of the rich and the poor.

He said this at the inauguration of Caring Heart Mega Primary School, Fagbo, in Ondo East Local Government Area.

It was part of activities outlined for the 40th anniversary of the creation of Ondo State and the 7th year anniversary of his administration.

Dr Mimiko said that before his intervention, the children of the poor had to make do with the public schools, while the children of the rich received early education in cosy environment and as such creating a man – made disparity and discrimination he opined, is almost worse than the apartheid situation in the South Africa of old.
