Makinde re-awards Moniya-Iseyin roads for N9b

*N170m for free WAEC past questions

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has given approval for the total reconstruction of the Moniya-Iseyin road to a new contractor at a cost of over N9billion.

He also approved the printing of 100,000 copies of West African Examination Council (WAEC) compendium of past questions and answer of ten years to be distributed free to senior secondary school three (SSS3) students at both the public and private schools across the state.

The Moniya-Iseyin road became an issue when upon resumption of office, the Governor visited the site and express dissatisfaction at the rate of works done.

The project is to be handed by KOPEK construction company
The project was initially awarded by former Governor Abiola Ajimobi at a cost of N7billion out of which N2billion was released before Makinde revoked the contract.

The decisions were parts of resolutions reached at the weekly State Executive Council meeting which held at the Executive Chambers of the Governors office, Agodi Secretariat, Ibadan.

He should have limited the compendium to the public schools
Parents and guardians who paid whooping amounts to private schools should be able to afford simple waec questions

In this cash crunch econony with labour ready for a showdown with any state governor who will not pay minimum wage, I think this move is outlandish. There is so much to do with little resources available and the best way out is to expend the resources well. N170M yearly is too much. I hope it is past questions in school libraries that can be accessible for as many students and as many years as possible
