The Oyo state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has ordered the refund of 28million naira levies said to have been extorted from indigent pupils and students in the state by the immediate past administration back to their parents and guardians.

The governor stated this through the state Commissioner for Education, Professor Daud Sangodoyin, this Tuesday, while briefing newsmen at the end of 2nd executive council meeting. He revealed that plans are already underway to ensure that all parents and guardians get back the N3,000 naira refund which was imposed by the last administration.

He added that the distribution of the customized exercise books prepared for the pupils and students in government own citadel of learning would commence on Monday, September 16, 2019.

He, however, noted that any teacher who sacrifices his/her time in the newly established coaching hours for the senior secondary school students in government own schools would be entitled to the honorarium.

Also speaking to the press, was the state commissioner for information and natural resources, Hon. Kehinde Ayoola who stated that the 26 thousand hectares of prime forest resources illegally acquired by some individuals of the immediate past government of Oyo state be revoked.

Ayoola said the decision became necessary to prevent ecological disasters already predicted by the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA). Saying, it is ungodly for anyone to reduce the size of the forest and acquire it for his or her personal use.

He further said, the 26thousand hectares of land in the hands of some individuals almost caused the state to lose a whooping sum of grant wanted to be given to it by the United Nations to expand its forestry reserve. And to protect the interest of Oyo residents, it is paramount to put a stop to some individuals who are interested in looting the common patrimony of the state.
