Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has announced plans to construct a 900-seat, Artificial Intelligence-powered digital classroom complex valued at N1 billion at Remo Secondary School (RSS), Sagamu.
Abiodun made the disclosure during the school’s 80th anniversary celebration held on its premises, describing the ultra-modern facility as a strategic investment aimed at preparing students for the demands of the 21st-century knowledge economy.
According to the governor, the digital classroom forms part of a broader smart-learning initiative for the school, which will also feature a resource centre and a fully equipped robotics laboratory to promote innovation, creativity and advanced digital skills.
“As a first step in providing continuous support, I am pledging the sum of N100 million to this institution,” he said. “To underscore my commitment, I will release 50 per cent of this pledge next week. Beyond that, I will ensure that before I leave office, we begin and complete at least one of the projects mentioned.”
Abiodun further revealed that the state government had remodelled the school’s science laboratories, upgrading them to modern standards and equipping them with contemporary instructional tools to create a safer and more inspiring learning environment.
He added that both the boys’ and girls’ hostels had been rehabilitated to enhance students’ comfort, safety and overall welfare.
Describing Remo Secondary School as a heritage institution, the governor said the anniversary was not merely a celebration of years, but a recognition of a living legacy.
He commended the school’s alumni for preserving its history and supporting its development, noting that their contributions reflected a collective commitment to sustaining excellence.
Abiodun also noted that RSS had been designated as one of Ogun State’s flagship schools and urged students to embrace learning with passion, uphold integrity and strive to live up to the legacy established by previous generations.
