The Osun government on wednesday banned the use of cell phones and motorcycles by students in public secondary schools across the state.


The state deputy governor, Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, gave the order in Osogbo during the education stakeholders meeting with representatives from five local government areas.


Laoye-Tomori said the ban became imperative in order to instill discipline in the state's public secondary schools.


She decried the poor performance of the students during internal and external examinations, saying the results did not reflect the huge spending in educational reforms.


The deputy governor then urged communities to set up committees that would monitor activities of students in schools to their localities as means of checkmating them.


She said, 'due to the unruly behaviour of some students, any student caught with cell phones, charms, or dangerous objects would be expelled from school' (NAN).

And how will dat stop corruption?

I support this move 70% if they can introduce security and lockers with combos , i'll support at 100 % , We are not in america , there's no emergency or fear of shooting , if students spend less time on 2go and whatsApp, i believe they can concentrate better in school

You pay your teachers less than 50% of their monthly package and you expect those teachers to give the students 100%. You don't motivate the teachers yet you want the best. Is it all about edifice? Osun govt is a joke.

the govt of aregberascal.
