Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, said the state government is constructing a 900-seater Artificial Intelligence-powered digital classroom complex valued at ₦1 billion at Remo Secondary School (RSS), Sagamu, as part of efforts to deepen technology-driven education in the state.
Governor Abiodun disclosed this during the school’s 80th anniversary celebration held on the school premises, describing the ultra-modern facility as a major investment aimed at equipping students for the demands of the 21st-century knowledge economy.
According to him, the digital classroom is part of broader smart-learning initiatives within the school, which already include a resource centre and a fully equipped robotics laboratory designed to promote innovation, creativity, and advanced digital skills.
"As a first step in providing continuous support, I am pledging the sum of ₦100 million to this institution.
"To underscore my commitment, I will release 50 per cent of the pledge — ₦50 million — next week. This is not all; I will ensure that before I leave office, we begin and complete at least one of the projects mentioned," the governor said.
Speaking further, Governor Abiodun said that the state government had remodelled the school’s science laboratories, bringing them up to modern standards and equipping them with contemporary instructional tools to create safe and inspiring learning environments.
Besides, he added that both the boys' and girls' hostels had also been rehabilitated to enhance students' comfort, safety, and overall welfare.
Describing Remo Secondary School as a heritage institution, Abiodun said the anniversary celebration represented more than the marking of years but the preservation of a living legacy.
"We are not just celebrating a school; we are celebrating a living institution," he stated.
Governor Abiodun commended the school’s old students for preserving its history and supporting its development, noting that their contributions reflected collective responsibility toward sustaining excellence.
"These are not merely assets; they are statements of belief in the future, symbols of our shared sacrifice, and proof of what is possible when vision aligns with commitment.
"I have discovered that this school is far more than a school; it is a heritage institution, collectively owned, nurtured, and sustained by a shared sense of responsibility," he said.
Abiodun noted that Remo Secondary School had been designated as one of the state’s flagship schools and, therefore, urged students to embrace learning with passion, uphold integrity, and strive to live up to the legacy of excellence established by previous generations.
