Abiola Ajimobi, governor of Oyo state, has requested for a letter of apology from schools whose pupils took part in a protest against government’s proposed education initiative — else their schools will remain locked.

Abiodun Jimoh, the chairman, National Parents Teachers Association of Nigeria(NAPTAN), Oyo state chapter, said this in Ibadan on Thursday after a meeting with the governor.

On June 6, pupils in the state went on rampage in protest against the state government’s proposed public-private participatory management of schools.

The pupils had protested, following allegations that the state government had sold their schools.

The government dismissed the allegations, saying the initiative was participatory and aimed at boosting the education sector.

Jimoh told journalists that the association had visited the governor to appeal to him to reopen the schools, which were shut down by the state government over the incident.

He said the governor had expressed displeasure over the involvement of pupils in the protested and demanded an apology from affected institutions before schools could be reopened.

“The governor said that the heads of the schools should write letters of apology to the government,” Jimoh said.

“We have promised him that we will meet with the heads of the schools to immediately write the letter in the interest of the pupils.

“We are fed up with the strike action and our children staying at home for so long. We want them back in school and for teachers to resume at their duty posts.”

Jimoh also said that the association would wade into the face-off between labour and government.

He said that the governor had explained to them the agreement reached with labour on the modalities for the payment of salaries to workers.

Jimoh said that the governor had also stressed the need for labour to embrace dialogue, saying his government was predisposed to this any time.

I m trying to blv that Nigeria is a Zoo

How did Nnamdi January know that Nigeria might be a zoo??

geez! see ego. people can be this egocentric. adonbilivit.

What rubbish! Common governor

The pta chairman must be sick to have accepted to the demands.. Power belongs to the people.. Schools are closed because the governor is owing workers 6months salary.. So teachers should go and teach on empty stomach... What kind of system are we running in this country... Too bad we have a proud emperor as governor. Time will tell...

I love this our govnor. .

No comment especially when it not from a credible source.

Yorubas SMH!

Really?
Beg you?
Foolish clown.

Please don't shut down the Sun from shinning, or block River Niger from flowing down to the East.

So they have no right to say no to the things that makes them uncomfortable?

Trampling on people's rights and still call it democracy?

God dey endure o...

Ajimobi do as u like , u are the govnor they elect to do the job.

They can only murmur in there rooms...

Why are you angry? You are a Nigerian, if you call Nigeria a zoo then that automatically makes you one of the monkeys living in it. You called my country a zoo and because I called you a monkey you started shouting lalasticlala and mynd42's names. Well I say again, if Nigeria is a zoo, then you are one of the monkeys in it. GBAM!

Well you just said it again, 'what Nigerian politicians do is akin to a zoo'. You can criticise Nigerian politicians without insulting Nigeria. I say it again too, monkeys live in the zoo, if Nigeria is a zoo and you live in it, that makes you a monkey. Period! Nigeria is bigger than you (over 180 million times). If you insuit it, I will insult you any day!

I have been criticising them for long without insulting the country. Your type pray and fast for a Malaysian visa where you will be treated like dirt. What is the difference between a lion and a monkey if both are caged? But I still think the latter describes you better

The guy is so useless

Every Nigerian alive is a survivor not just you, and what is it that happens in a zoo? Our politicians are corrupt but are we better? Did we not vote for them? Do we not persecute the best among us and hail the wicked? a country will always get the kind of leaders it deserves.

The politicians are the greatest culprits.

I strongly believe that Governor Abiola Ajimobi(GAA)will surely go down the way of the wicked Bashorun GAA of the ancient Oyo Empire.Bi o ba ranti iku GAA ki o seka,bi o ba ranti iku GAA ki o sooto.Governor Abiola Ajimobi(GAA)is not only wicked and insensitive,he is also very UNGODLY.

no the people are the greatest culprits. We vote them into power and defend their corrupt act because they are from our village or belong to the same tribe as us. Even the thieves in goodluck's regime, many are saying leave them alone. So politicians do what they do because we encourage them.

Dats why i say politicians.... if we have a law that says once ur a caught over corruption as a public officer especially financial recklessness and fecklessness, that stipulates death by hanging or life imprisonment, and then they make sure that no one is above the LAW even the president, and as well removal of immunity, then everyone will fall in line seeing that d leaders are doing same...
Buh wen one man who himself his corrupt, and he is trying to stop corruption, people will read different meanings to it.. and especially the.politicians will go on a brainwashing spree of political witch hunt...
And tbh, most politicians dont have wisdom that much

Chaii the same governor took workers to court despite the fact that he is owing 6months salary and now he his saying students to beg.. Power belongs to the people and God shall judge him.. Waiting for Monday.. We shall know weather he his above us all... Too bad

The governor should be the one to apologise first to workers for owing them 6months salary, then apologise to the students for trying to short change them. He his on a mission to self destruct.. Time is ticking and he cannot remain in government house forever... Anyway I am glad he made the comment because it will energise the struggle by NLC. A debtor asking for apology.. Shame on him.
