It’s common knowledge that the Labour Gubernatorial Candidate possesses all the powers to flourish and catalyze all-encompassing growth across all sectors in Edo State—from Healthcare to Education, Sports development, poverty eradication, infrastructure, basic amenities, urban renewal, youth empowerment programs, and beyond. He emerges as a newcomer to political governance, brimming with innovative ideas within a burgeoning party, which serves as fertile ground for him to seamlessly replicate his illustrious track record.

In 2022, Nigeria rose to the forefront as the leading country grappling with the highest number of out-of-school children globally, an alarming figure exceeding ten million, a dire consequence of ineffective leadership and a dearth of visionary governance. Fast forward to last September, Edo State emerged among the states with the fewest out-of-school children, yet still confronting a formidable challenge with over 76,000 youngsters deprived of education—an unsettling statistic for a state boasting a population of less than 8 million in 2024.

Furthermore, Edo State has repeatedly made headline news due to its glaring education shortcomings. One recalls vividly the uproar late last year when netizens across various platforms vehemently criticized the sitting Governor after distressing images depicting the deplorable learning conditions in schools across the state surfaced online.

Akpata, hailed as one of the most accomplished individuals nationwide, boasts an impressive CV, having served as the former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). Armed with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from the University of Benin, Nigeria, and a Master of Laws (LLM) degree from the University of Lagos, Nigeria, he carries a wealth of expertise and experience. With his formidable qualifications and proven track record, he stands ready to offer comprehensive solutions to revitalize Edo’s Educational Sector with ease.

The former NBA President has ambitious plans to refurbish every dilapidated school throughout the state, transforming them into world-class centers for learning. This initiative aims to significantly improve the learning environment, directly benefiting every child’s education. Moreover, it is anticipated to serve as a powerful motivator for the countless out-of-school children, inspiring them to pursue learning alongside their peers.

Akpata plans to overhaul Edo’s educational sector by implementing digital learning initiatives and boosting skill acquisition programs, aiming to elevate the number of artisans and craftsmen in the state. This strategy not only enhances the value of labor but also contributes to a decline in crime rates statewide. Additionally, his agenda includes job creation and opportunities for graduates, aimed at shifting the mindset of young individuals who perceive education as a scam, and demonstrating that it’s possible to earn a decent monthly income without resorting to fraud or other criminal activities.
