Ogun SUBEB’s New Head Calls for Stronger Team Spirit Among Staff
Segun Ayinde, Abeokuta
The newly appointed Executive Chairman of the Ogun State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Evangelist Olalekan Ifede, has urged Education Secretaries across the Local Government Education Authorities, board’s management and staff to embrace teamwork for successful administration.
Ifede, who disclosed this at the inauguration and official resumption of duties by the new Board members, said that without unity and teamwork it would be difficult for the new board administration to achieve progress and stability in the state’s education sector.
“Two good heads are better than one. I appeal to all career officers to see themselves as one. Let us work together as a team. I have come with love and where there is love, there is progress,” Ifede stated.
The SUBEB Chairman called on all career officers to ensure they share knowledge together to achieve any tasks, while thanking Governor Dapo Abiodun for the opportunity given to the new board to steer the affairs of SUBEB, pledging to discharge their duties responsibly.
Addressing the board, the Permanent Member III of SUBEB, Hon. Abiodun Ajayi, described the Chairman’s appointment as a reflection of the governor’s trust in his competence, integrity, and leadership abilities.
“We are confident that your wealth of experience, dedication, and visionary leadership will further strengthen the Board’s mandate to provide quality, accessible, and inclusive basic education for children across the state,” Ajayi said.
The Board Secretary, Mr. Olubori Akinleye, pledged his full support and commitment to the continued development of both the Board and basic education in the state.
Earlier, the Director of Administration and Supplies, Mr. Femi Fatade, assured the new Board of unwavering support, loyalty, and a shared resolve to work harmoniously towards the Board’s success.

Inclusive Education Boost as Deaf-Tech, Federal University of Lafia Roll Out Master’s in Disability Studies
Joel Ajayi
In a major step toward advancing inclusive education in Nigeria, Deaf-in-Tech, an initiative of Data-Lead Africa, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Federal University of Lafia (FULAFIA) to establish a Professional Master’s Degree in Disability Studies.
The signing ceremony, held at Deaf-in-Tech’s headquarters in Abuja, featured a goodwill message from Prof. Adaka Terfa Ahon, Director of the Centre for Disability Studies, who represented FULAFIA’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Shehu Abdul Rahman. He reaffirmed the university’s commitment to championing disability and inclusion in its academic innovation and planning.
The new Master’s programme will adopt a hybrid learning model, with online classes complemented by in-person sessions at Deaf-in-Tech’s training facility in Abuja. It is designed to build expertise in disability-inclusive governance, education, and development across sectors.
Executive Director of Deaf-in-Tech and Co-Founder of Data-Lead Africa, Dr. Arowolo Ayoola, described the collaboration as a “structural shift” in how institutions and professionals engage with disability issues. “The inclusion journey must begin with knowledge, and we are proud to partner with a progressive university like FULAFIA,” he said.
Beyond the postgraduate programme, the partnership will also establish a Deaf-in-Tech Club on FULAFIA’s campus — the first of its kind — to empower Deaf students with technology skills, mentorship, and innovation opportunities. Additional initiatives include a ₦1 million academic excellence reward for any Deaf student who graduates with a First Class, as well as the development of a disability-accessible website and digital database for the Centre for Disability Studies, built to WCAG 2.1 global accessibility standards.
The alliance underscores both institutions’ commitment to building inclusive systems and celebrating excellence, while positioning Deaf-in-Tech as a catalyst for bridging the gap between disability and the digital economy.
