SBMC-SIP : 66 Oyo Public Schools To Benefit |OGBOMOSO INFO|






Oyo State Government, in collaboration with the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), has selected 66 public primary schools from the three senatorial districts in Oyo State, to benefit from UBEC School Based Management Committee-School Improvement Programme (SBMC-SIP).
This, the Government revealed is part of UBEC’s new strategy to involve communities in the management of schools.
The Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr. Nureni Adeniran, revealed this while speaking with members of the various School-Based Management Committees across the State in his office today.
Adeniran enjoined them to adhere strictly to the action plans approved by the Commission and see the opportunity as a mandate to serve their communities selflessly.
The Chairman charged management of the benefiting schools to make judicious use of the funds disbursed to them to improve the standard of education in the state, while he disclosed that, the project is dear to Governor Seyi Makinde’s heart.
“I urge you to please spend the funds disbursed to you judiciously and spend it on the action plans approved by UBEC, as every kobo would be accounted for”, he said.
He therefore warned them to be wary of anyone who may extort them, with the claim that OyoSUBEB was asking for ‘returns’.
According to him, “Our attention has been drawn to activities of syndicates extorting money from unsuspecting SBMC members under the pretence of returns for the management of the board”. “Please disregard such information, as it is false and misleading”, he said.
He stressed that anybody fingered in the extortion would be investigated and appropriately dealt with within the full ambits of the law.
Describing the programme as a boost to the School-Based Management Committee – School Improvement Programme, (SBMC-SIP), Dr. Adeniran noted that the policy is a strategy which would create opportunities for SBMCs to manage the schools in their respective communities.
Dr. Adeniran also expressed optimism that the programmes would increase enrolment, retention, completion and transition in the basic education sub sector, as well as help address out-of-school-children in the State.
“As we look into ways of addressing the challenges of out-of- school children in the State, it is our belief that this programme would go a long way to increase enrolments in our public schools”, he opined.
“This Policy would strengthen partnership between our public schools and communities they are in. It would further improve these schools, and encourage community leaders around schools to be involved in the planning, management and maintenance of school properties”, he concluded.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
