you are not saying the truth. Read this, "KWARA STATE SCHOOLS BOARD
 
Speech delivered by His Excellency, The Military Governor of Kwara State, Colonel D. L. Bamigboye, at the Official Launching of the Kwara State Schools Board in Ilorin, State Capital, on 3/7/72

 
Civil Commissioners, Distinguised Ladies and Gentlemen,
 
I am delighted to be here this morning to launch officially the Kwara State Schools Board which came into being on the first day of June, 1972. This is a practical demonstration of the importance which my Government, among other Governments of the Federation, attaches to education.

It is gratifying to see the large assembly here this morning among whom, I understand, are proprietors, education secretaries, chairmen of boards of governors, principals of various grant-aided post-primary institutions and a lot more people from many walks of life. They are all welcome to Ilorin, the State Capital. It is my earnest prayer to wish everyone a pleasant stay in Ilorin and safe journey back home.
I want to start by acknowledging the depth of gratitude we owe to the Voluntary Agencies for the pioneering roles they have so far played in the progress of formal education in Nigeria, most especially in Kwara State.

Brief Historical Review
Some of the earliest primary schools in the country were opened by the Missions in what is today Kwara State. For instance, in 1865 the first primary school was opened at Lokoja. By 1918 similar Voluntary Agency schools were already opened at Offa,  at Ilorin and in Ogori. Gradually all the Christian Missions, Muslim Missions and Native Authorities, now Local Government Authorities, and communities became involved in establishing primary schools.
Today we have over 550 primary schools in the State. The Missions, the Native Authorities and the local communities have also contributed a great deal to the development of post-primary education in the State. As at date, there are 78 post- primary schools in the State. Of these only 3 are owned and run directly by the Government while the remaining 65 are Voluntary Agency, Community and private schools. I have gone into this aspect of the history of education in the State to show the value of team work among the Voluntary Agencies. Local communities private interests and the Government in the great task of educating our children. I hope that this tradition of team work will continue.

As many of you know, the proposal to establish Schools Board dated several years back. The National Joint Negotiation Council of 1964 under the distinguished Chairmanship of Justice Adefarasin and the Committee on the Grading Duty Posts in Voluntary Agency Institutions recommended it. Above all, the teachers themselves support it. These are concrete proofs of the desirability of the scheme hence my Government’s spontaneous reaction to it when due for consideration.

Full Scale Consultations
In my last Budget Speech I mentioned the intention of my Government to create the State Schools Board and the Local School Boards. I made good this promise in respect of one when on 18th May, 1972, I signed the Education Law ( Amendment) Edict, which gave birth to the State Schools Board on 1st June, 1972, the official launching of which we are all witnessing here today. The Board comprises seven able personalities, including a woman, to run the affairs of the Voluntary Agency grant-aided post-primary institutions. Before establishing the Board my Ministry of Education went into full scale consultations with the major Voluntary Agency institutions in the six Northern States, namely, the Protestants, the Roman Catholic, and the Islamic bodies as early as February, 1970. I am glad to announce that all the Voluntary Agency and community schools were fully in agreement and that the five “Part-time” members at this Board virtually represent these agencies although they are expected to function as individuals and according to their own best judgement.

Aspects of Education Administration.
While it is the main purpose of the State Schools Board to implement Asabia Recommendations, The Board has come in the nick of time to give concrete expression to Government thinking on certain aspects of the administration of education in this State. Of particular concern to the Government in this regard are the followings needs:-

(a) The need to have job security for teachers in Voluntary Agency Schools.

(b) The need to improve as well as unify service conditions of teachers in all Voluntary Agency Institutions.

(c ) The need for uniformly high standards between Government and Voluntary Agency institutions.

(d) The need to narrow, with the ultimate aim of closing, the gap in educational provision amongst the various areas in the State.

(e) The need to ensure adequate staffing for all schools.

The Edict establishing the Board clearly spelt out the functions of the Board which include 'power to appoint teachers (including power to make appointments on promotion, conform appointments and effect transfers) and to dismiss and exercise disciplinary control over teachers in all post – primary schools which are in receipt of Government grant-in-aid.

No Schools Takeover Yet.
It is appropriate for me at this juncture to clarify some misgivings about the State Schools Board. The term ‘take-over’ has become very current in our newspapers that it needs to be clarified in respect of our establishment of the Schools Board. I mentioned in my Budget Speech that my Government has not yet decided to take over Secondary Schools. What will now be taken over is the staff management in grant-aided post-primary institutions and NOT the institutions themselves. A total take–over of schools by Government means, among other things, a change in ownership of schools. In this connection, I want to remind the Voluntary Agencies that they are still the owner of their schools and therefore retain the rights over as well as responsibilities for them. For avoidance of doubts, let me mention some of your rights as proprietors under the new dispensation:-

   (a) The right of ownership of institutions. Proprietors still retain the greatest of proprietory rights namely, ownership of their grants aided institutions.  It should be noted that the existence of the Board will in no way detract from this.

(b) The names of schools remain as given by proprietors.

(c ) Religious orientation and practices in the schools remain generally undisturbed.

(d) The right to nominate Board of Governors with responsibility for the day-to-day management and welfare of the institutions remain unchanged. The Board of Governors will continue to function normally except in regards to staff matters which responsibility is now taken over by the State Schools Board. Finally,

(e) The total tone of the institutions remains the responsibility of the Board of Governors as the main organ of the Proprietors.

Proprietors’ Continued Participation
At this point, I want to emphasize the importance of proprietors’ continued participation. Under the new scheme the institutions whose staff management is being taken over should continue to be virile and progressive with bouyant financial support from community and Missions both for proper maintenance and necessary developments. By this I mean the mistake of the past should not be repeated whereby people misunderstood the role of the Local Education Authorities for ‘a total take-over’ of the transferred schools and consequently washed off their hands financially. I am here reiterating that proprietors still owe large duties to their institutions and these they should continue to discharge through their Boards of Governors, for example:-
the regular maintenance of the school buildings, housing of institutional staff, provisions of school accommodation, the general tone of the institution, appointment of Board’s own administrative staff and anything to do with the academic work of the school, other than teaching staff.
I hope that the Missionary as well, as the community spirits which engendered these institutions will continue to enable them to run without any financial hardship.

Finally I want to remind the State Schools Board of the enormous task ahead of it. I am sure that the Board is fully aware of the various problems which it is set up to solve I expect the Board to give the schools the best services possible and to demonstrate that with prudent management of the existing scale of financial provisions the teachers' lot can be greatly improved. The Board is set up to improve, standards and services conditions of teachers. It is also its major role to maintain discipline in the noble profession.
In Conclusion, I wish the Kwara State Schools Board many years of useful services to this State and to the country as a whole.
 
Thank you."

Nice write-up bro.
What you put forward has been settled by the court. You can watch Chief press secretary to the government where he explained on Tvc your view. "Kwara govt. shut down 10 schools over wearing of hijab". Type on YouTube and watch. Then you can reply me.

[quote author=gbemiga1 post=100033141]lied. They are known as Grant aided schools. They are different from public schools. Grant aided schools are either owned by missionaries or communities. If they were owned by the government nobody would talk.[/quote

Don't be misinformed. The school is a public school owned by government. 100% own by government. You can read the state government press release or listen to SSG interview on TVC. They have two categories of schools public nd private. Most missionaries(Both muslim&Christian) schools were taking over by government in the 70's. Some schools names were changed totally but some names were retained to honour the founder. In my community we have 2 Muslim schools one was change totally and the other name was retained and they are all public schools. I love your last paragraph why are they talking that's the issue, are the Muslim started attending the school why the fuss now? The school is founded by 100% tax payers money, if it's a Christian private school nobody will talk.Even the court has settled the controversy about hijab or no hijab just like in Lagos state. If they want the school to return to them they can start a legal battle for that not pitting innocent kids against each others.

malcomxjr:
who own the school please

Government 100%

nasiest:
Hello house, what's the salary for entry level @NIGERIAN INVESTMENT PROMOTION COMMISSION (NIPC)

Can't say. Pls is anything happening there?

[quote author=malcomxjr post=100013747][/quote]You are a terrible liar. The school doesn't belong to Christian.

Anigreat:






Christians are not against Hijab or whatever you lots called it. If you guys want to use hijab let it be in Islamic school not in Christian schools. Is that too hard to understand? Christian schools have their uniform and i am sure hijab is not part of the uniform in any Christian schools.

All what G.J.O . Moshay wrote in his book titled "Who Is This Allah" is nothing but the truth about this religion of piece. Very violent in nature.


Concerning the evil oath this forum forced people of other religion to swear before they can comment on Muslim post i want to say
I am not a muslim, I can never be, i detest this religion with all my heart and soul.




I believe that there is no Saviour but Jesus Christ .

I believe that Jesus Christ is the only true son of God.

I believe that CHRISTIANITY is the Only true Religion and the only true way of life.

Most of you are filled with hatred and nothing but an extremists. The schools you are talking about are not Christian schools, how is it Christian school? Those schools are government school and government had came out to tell us. It's fully founded by government and few states return schools to the missionaries after absorbed them cos they can't fund it. I went to Muslim school and nobody force them to wear hijab and on Fridays they normally organised Christian service. Let me tell you, most Christians extremist like you are known for Muslim persecution either in work places or schools. Yes, Christian control media and they are using it to promote propaganda and hatred. I wonder how Nigeria Christians don't know that their religion spread through violent and persecution. Go and read about your evil crusade and reply me. Continue with evil and lies to God we shall all return. I don't know why Seun is telling people to swear, very wrong and nobody is forcing u to become Muslim We are close to 2 billion and still counting. You can't appreciate what u don't know. Jesus is nothing but a true Muslim

Chanchit:
Lagos would have done way better, for example. Things would even be cheaper than it is if federal Power let's us import things as we want just like Benin republic. Because since they closed our borders to grow Naira, our currency don enter relegation

The great economics, your name should've been sent to national assembly for confirmation as CBN Governor���.

Removing Salah to go and do what? My coach should be suffering from hallucination.

Adamsfunakaye:
i also dont understand the 0% i got

It can be an error from them. Call them to complain

jlinkd78:
Noted. This will further expose Dangote to more ridicules. Most of us thought it was Photoshop and trumped-up charge until now. Dangote can never win this rofo rofo battle with a woman whom he doesn't know yet her litany of blackmailing dossier. They did it to Samson they are now on Dangote. Fear women. With this level of poor judgement by d supposed richest man in Africa, something is terribly doubtful with his entrepreneural prowess. I now believe that under very fair competitive business climate this man can't be Nigeria's richest but d skewed policies by every Govt in power to favor him vis-a-vis d monopolistic reign for everything he is interested in has sustained this unmerited narrative.

Social media is driving people blindly even when you see black they will call it white and millions will still fall for it. Looking at the story critically does it near truth? Compensation of $30,000 by who? DA. Does the source of the news makes sense to you? Bloggers. Even d so called photoshop picture. They will always want u to click in their stories. Most of d stories nowadays are just wack. The story is too weak

I was expecting Origi to score dat one on one! Arnold has been major part of d problem since he came back from injury.

RealSleek post:


I know u are trying to make a point..but you know that picture isn't from Nigeria..and what's wrong with jail term, heavy fines..if you fine someone 200k in this economy, I'm sure that person won't repeat the same offence twice..you are as crazy as your government.


Is the person that decided to drive one way not aware before he/ she start driving that it is against traffic laws? Does he need tutelage to understand that? Why didn't he drive into a river and see if he will not die?
Can he try such in developed countries.
Why are we this lawless in this country.

In UK
Dangerous driving is more serious than careless driving, and is classed as driving which “falls far below what would be expected of competent and careful driving, and it would be obvious to a competent and careful driver that driving in that way would be dangerous.”

It can include driving aggressively, overtaking in dangerous locations and racing other vehicles.

Dangerous driving offences will be dealt with by the Magistrates’ Court or Crown Court, depending on the seriousness.

If found guilty, you could be hit with an unlimited fine, a driving ban and up to 14 years in prison

They also Crush cars, I saw some fines as much as 70000 pounce. One way driving can result into death. In a city like Lagos it should be more stricter as far as an concern. If it is within street they can impose a fine but on a high way if anything is more than auction I support it. Not only poor people is doing that and we should also be aware that it has a legal backing.

To me, this is an act of charity. May God almighty bless you. InshAllah.

Southwest dominated the list. Nigeria is too complex and nobody wants to do research but just noise up and down.

I am not referring to End SARS protesters. Don't put words in my mouth. I am referring to activists who, in the past few weeks, have declared that this election will mark a change in Nigeria. They stated that this election is the first opportunity for them to show their power and they were going to destroy APC in Lagos.

Many said that people should and would vote for Gbadamosi, the candidate of the PDP, because they believed that he was the only one that had the chance to defeat the APC, while others said that both PDP and APC were bad and therefore they were going to vote for someone that wasn't representing either APC or PDP.

It was a big deal on Twitter and to some extent on Nairaland. People were circulating pictures of candidates and doing voter education.

I didn't see that happening with any of the other bye elections that are holding today and my question is, what happened to all the noise? I was eagerly anticipating an exciting day, but instead it is quite a disappointment.

Good observation, that's 9ja for you. But as far as am concern if you present Abiru and Gbadamosi under any political party I will gladly choose Abiru because of his track records. I don't have opportunity to vote today cos am not around.

lathrowinger:
Even me too

I applied during Corona lockdown, I don't know wether it is still open now.

SkyRicks:
The increase in bad governance in Nigeria is at it pick as the Central Bank of Nigeria rows out different platforms to tackle the effect of the covid19 virus on the large populate through the Nirsal Micro Finance Bank, some personals of the agency now sees it as a means to enrich themselves as the divert some loans.

With picture evidence below shows the approval of the loan about a month and Two days ago while the individuals are yet to get the loan, they receive account number to pay back the loan from the bank. And every means of communicating with the customer care are abortive as line is switched off or not reachable
Customer care line 09010026900.

Many concerned citizen have complained about this development as some claim that the cannot pay for what the have no access to (used).

You will receive it later. Let's try to be asking questions so that we will not mislead people. It causes confusion. Calm down we all encounter the same thing and I hope you'll come back to disregard the message if it eventually drop.

If you want Nigerians to hate you, simply say the truth.
