Nureni Adeniran, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) chairman, who made this public in a statement on Monday in Ibadan disclosed that the officials of Methodist Basic School (School one to five), Gangansi, were part of the illegal collection.

The chairman told the public that the Seyi Makinde administration already abolished the collection of development levies in all schools.

To him, the Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) can contribute to the development of learning centers, he said it must not affect pupils’ education.

“No child should be discriminated against in the state education sector,” Adeniran said.

According to the board, some parents complained that the head teachers barred their children from entering the examination hall for failing to pay the N100.

Adeniran said the School-Based Management Committee (SBMC) issued the directive through a popular radio station in Ibadan.

“For denying Gov. Seyi Makinde’s pupils access to write examinations, queries have been issued to head-teachers of the affected schools,” he announced.
