Governor Abiola
Ajimobi of Oyo State, today, summoned heads of 15 out of the schools that
participated in the match past to mark this year’s Children’s Day celebrations
to his office for improper dressing of their pupils.
The governor, while speaking shortly after taking
salute at the match past that witnessed the presence of several schools, both
primary and secondary, at the Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba, Ibadan,
indicted the headship of the schools for the appearances of the pupils which he
said was below standard.
Governor Ajimobi said that he took particular
notice of the affected schools, which comprised 11 nursery/primary schools and
four secondary schools, while they were matching past him, saying that the
dressing of the pupils was unacceptable.
He observed that while some of the children put on
torn clothes, others appeared dirty and unkempt, with their shoes not matching
their uniforms.
While ordering the head-teachers and principals of
the affected schools to report to his office immediately, the governor also
directed officials of the state Ministry of Education to visit the schools to
ascertain their environmental condition.
He said that any of the schools that failed to
meet the required environmental condition would be shut down.
Ajimobi said that the dirty appearances of the
pupils were a reflection of the low quality of supervision of the head-teachers
and the principals of their schools which he would not tolerate.
