The United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has approached
the government of the state of Osun seeking to
adopt the e-learning device created by the Rauf
Aregbesola administration, Opon Imo (Tablet of
Knowledge).
UNESCO, in a letter dated November 15, 2014 to
the Osun Commissioner for Education and
signed by Prof. Hassana Alidou, Director and
Representative UNESCO’s Regional Office in
Abuja said the organisation is impressed by the
components of the Osun e-learning project.
UNESCO also requested permission to reproduce
and adapt the educational learning resource
material and content of Opon-Imo to promote
its educational programmes in Nigeria.
The organisation added that it was fascinated by
the three major content categories of the e-
library, the integrated test zone, the virtual class
room containing 63 books covering civic
education, Ifa on ethics and morals among
others in Opon-Imo.
The United Nation’s organisation held that the
concept and educational contents of Opon-Imo
is in line with UNESCO’s objective to promote
open access to quality education in the country.
According to UNESCO in the letter of request,
“as you may be aware, UNESCO is a specialised
Agency of the United Nations with a broad
mandate in promoting education, science,
culture, communication and information.
“The concept and education content of Opon-
Imo is in line with UNESCO objective to promote
open access to scientific information, open
educational resources and open training
platform as well as open distance learning.
“We acknowledge that the Opon-Imo was
designed to enhance students’ access to
knowledge, sexuality education and
entrepreneurship, all of which are within the
scope of UNESCO’s educational programme
activities in Nigeria.”
The organisation also pointed out that it will
partner with Osun, noting that the government
of Osun will be officially acknowledged by
UNESCO and other users as the major source of
the e-learning resource materials wherever they
are used.
Opon Imo [Tablet of Knowledge], the innovative
education tool by Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s
administration, has bagged several international
awards.
Opon Imo was selected as the best in innovative
category in the e-learning and science category
of the United Nations-backed World Summit
Awards (WSA), among many other awards.

This is laudable. Aregbe has tried in promoting the culture of the Osun people and our president Jonathan has created that enabling environment for that.

The reason is not far fetched. It is probably because there is not enough money to be embezzled by adopting this model. Money that is not enough to buy a private jet
