Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa returned to the classroom to teach students at an unidentified school.
A viral video, accompanied by photos, that has been making the rounds on Friday captured the moment the state governor was in a classroom engaging with the students.
The video, and photos shared on the Governor’s Facebook page with the caption “Once a teacher, always a teacher,” shows him writing the word “Drugs” on the board while engaging the class in an interactive session.
At one point, he asked the pupils to name three forms of drugs, encouraging participation and sparking lively responses.
This comes weeks after Governor Aiyedatiwa approved the hiring of 1,100 primary school teachers throughout all 18 local government areas of Ondo State in March 2025.
The governor stated that this gesture is part of a broader initiative to enhance the education sector.
