Secondary school students in Osogbo, the Osun
State capital, on Tuesday staged a protest
against the government policy that any student
who cannot produce their parents’ tax
clearance should not be allowed in school.
Students of Osogbo High School trooped out in
hundreds and trekked from their school, through
Ogo Oluwa area to the Governor’s Office singing
anti-government songs.
Armed with leaves, the students were joined on
the roads to the Governor’s Office by their
colleagues in other schools.
The Head Boy of Osogbo High School 1, Taiwo
Oyewole, said the students were protesting
because most of their parents who were
government workers had not been paid for
months, adding that it was impossible for them
(parents) to pay N4,500 for tax clearance.
He said there was a directive from the state
government that any student who could not
produce the clearance should not be allowed in
school.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education,
Mr. Lawrence Oyeniran, when contacted said the
directive was given by a body at the Internal
Revenue.
Oyeniran said, ” Internal revenue gave the
directive, but it is a collective decision. We will
talk to them to douse the tension.”
