Kwara State, Ondo State, Schools to Open Monday

The Kwara State government has directed primary and secondary schools to resume on Monday.
The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) had directed its members not to resume, until their demands on the control of the Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) were met. The Commissioner for Education, Saka Onimago, asked all schools to provide basic hygiene materials, such as washing bowls, soap and towels.
 

Onimago, in a statement, directed two teachers from each school to undergo training on Ebola prevention, adding that the programme would begin as soon as the federal ministries of Health and Education provide the necessary facilities. He said the new school fees of N750 per term had been fixed for senior secondary schools, N500 for junior secondary and N250 for primary schools.

Also, the Ondo State government has directed all public and private schools to resume on Monday.
Commissioner for Information Kayode Akinmade, in a statement, said the government has made provision for the safe return of pupils to their schools.

He said the state has lined up activities to sensitise the public, headteachers and teachers on how to prevent the disease.

The statement said scanners would be distributed to schools for early detection of contagious diseases.
The statement said meeting and sensitization are on-going among education and health officials as well as stakeholders in the primary and secondary education system.

Akinmade said government has also brought in a disinfection expert from the United Kingdom to train in the prevention of the disease. But in Niger State, the government has fixed October 10 for the resumption for all schools.

The government said the new date was informed by the Eid-el-Kabir festival expected to hold in the first week of October.

The new date was announced when Governor Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu received a delegation of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), the West African Examination Council (WAEC) and National Examinations Council (NECO) in his office yesterday.

Aliyu said most pupils would want to celebrate the festival with their parents, hence the September 22 date will not work.

"Most of the children will want to witness the slaughtering of rams and participate in other post-Sallah festivities," Aliyu said.

He said fixing the resumption date for Friday would enable pupils in boarding schools to tidy their surroundings for classes to begin on Monday.

The Ondo State Government says it is disbursing N396 million to 32,784 indigenous students of the state in the country’s tertiary institutions as bursaries and scholarships for the 2013 scheme.

The Chairman, Ondo State Scholarship Board, Mr Dayo Awude, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Akure.

According to Awude, the money has been released for the payment of last year’s bursary and scholarship awards.

“The sum of N320 million is earmarked for bursary for 32,000 students, while N76 million is for scholarships and financial assistance to 784 students and we have commenced payment.

He said that some students had problems with their bank account details, adding that the board had communicated with them and they had been responding and correcting the errors.

Awude said that for a student to qualify for regular scholarship, which is N100, 000, he or she must have a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.0.

The student must also write and pass a qualifying test.
“Each successful applicant under this category receives N100, 000 and this is called regular scheme,’’ the chairman said.

He also said that all Ondo State indigenes in Law Schools and medical students from clinical levels were entitled to N50, 000 each under the government’s automatic scholarship.
Awude said that all physically challenged students in tertiary institutions of the state, who applied were given N50, 000 each without any test or requirement.

He stressed that it was a way of assisting and encouraging the “weak”.

According to him, any person who excelled in any other field is given an award under “special and automatic’’ scheme with a cash benefit of N100, 000 each.

“Any Ondo State indigene who is able to excel in any specific field like sports, education, and cultural display or achieve any other feat is entitled to N100, 000 every year.

“For bursary, the major qualification for one to apply is that he must be in a university, polytechnic, college of education, monotechnic or school of health and hail from Ondo State,” Awude said.

He expressed appreciation to the students for their loyalty and patience while the process of payment lasted.
He also commended Gov. Olusegun Mimiko for his approval and commitment to students’ yearning in spite of the excruciating financial competitiveness.

Also in an interview, Mr Awodola Afolayan, President, National Association of Ondo State Students’ Union (NAOSS), applauded the state government for the gesture.

Afolayan said that most of the students had received bank alerts of the payment and that the union had great trust in the board under the current chairman.
