Fayose Reduces EKSU Tuition by Nobody: 3:24pm On Nov 30, 2014 |
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has announced the reduction of the tuition being paid by students of the Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, from N50,000 to N30,000. Fayose, who announced this while featuring on a radio/television programme “Meet your Governor,” said the students could also pay the fees twice. He said his administration would also ensure an enabling atmosphere for teaching and learning in state-owned institutions. On the financial challenges facing the state, Fayose said apart from global economic meltdown, Ekiti’s situation was aggravated by the Kayode Fayemi-led administration’s excessive borrowing to fund project with little or no economic value. He said, “On the day of my inauguration, I gave an overview of what the debt profile of the state is. Later, we have been discovering a lot of needless loans taken by that government on non-viable projects. “For instance, the Civic Centre they started in Ado- Ekiti, they have committed N1.2 billion into it and the contractors are saying another N1.2 billion is needed to complete it. Over N2 billion was spent on Ikogosi Warm Spring Resort and was given to their cronnies to manage, as of now, less than N10 million has accrued as income from it. “They said I have been given some money on federal roads they worked on; that is a lie. The Federal Government is saying it won’t reimburse Ekiti because the Fayemi’s administration did not take permission to work on those roads. “We are just liaising with them to get the situation redressed. No kobo has also been given to the state from Ecological Funds,” he said. On the frosty relationship between him and All Progressives Congress members of the state House of Assembly, the governor accused the lawmakers of not putting Ekiti first in their considerations. “Adewale Omirin, as the speaker, did not attend my inauguration ceremony. After the event, we met and talked and we agreed to work together. They asked that their monthly running grant of N48 million be paid in full, even when other agencies had theirs slashed by 60 per cent or stopped totally because of poor finances, we still gave them their full grant. “The N2 billion loan for SMEs that we wanted to access from the CBN, they now said they should be given 10 per cent of it which is N200 million and I refused. “They have a mindset and directive from their leaders that they must cripple my government and I know the people of the state will not allow that,” he stated. On the retirement of some permanent secretaries, Fayose said the performance of some was below expectation, while one connived with the former administration to pay out more than N1 billion in the last four weeks of the former administration. “A situation where we have 36 permanent secretaries to 14 active ministries does not make sense and we are not going to allow any waste. “The former governor had 104 special advisers/ special assistants and they were given official cars at the expense of the state. By the time they left, most of the cars were not paid for and they left with them,” Fayose added.

After being dealt with by OAU students, he is now thinking of how best to appease the students of his state so he can put them under his armpit. Unfortunately for you thug Fosise, we are on to your gimmick! Reducing fees also equates to low quality education and only intelligent students can rise up against tyrany. We are on to you! 1 Like |

Any Governor that lambast his/her predecessor for non performance or over-spending and yet fails to probe that same predecessor is noting but a lousy person who is just finding whom to put his/her failure on. 4 Likes |

Funny enough, this is coming from the same thug who looted the state dry and was impeached and disgraced out of office. In sane and orderly societies, he should be in jail. This is just another sad reflection of our lawless, corrupt and broken down country.. 2 Likes |

dridowu: To my knowledge, Fayemi is no longer a public official hence no immunity so why not just probe him instead of the daily baseless and unsubstantiated rants.. The joker should be governing, but he's definitely going to spend whatever time he has in office on silly, pointless and comedic rubbish.. 1 Like |

Fayose has been frustrated! The reduction is just temprorary - he will soon raise it even more than he met it. Ekiti doesn't have the financial muscle to fund the institution. This he knew himself but he has got to do what he promised during his campaign. The reduction is just for the maintain time believe me. |

Some people will never see anything good in Fayose because of their hypocrisy. When Fashola reduced school fees, they praised him for being a 'listening and compassionate governor.' When Amosun sensing that the defeat of Fayemi will have ripple effect on him slashed down the tuition, he was hailed. A man promised during his election and he fulfiled the promise to those he made it to, some people here are hating. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Meaning, if you criticize him then you must be able to probe him for reckless spending . So its better to keep shut , do your job and don't probe him. 1 Like |
