Revealing Oyo State Government’s plans to leave the basic education sector better than it met the system, he added that the State Government is committed to its zero tuition/fees policy.
While Dr. Adeniran posited that Parents and teachers under the aegis of NANTAP could emulate Alumni Associations by contributing to the development of schools in the State, he however reiterated that under no circumstance should a pupil or parent be mandated to contribute any amount.
“Oyo State Government has many plans for our primary schools. In this State, basic education has been declared free, compulsory and assessible for all pupils within primary school age by Governor Seyi Makinde”, Adeniran said.

“Yes, parents and teachers’ association in schools may decide to contribute to the development of education in our schools, Government does not frown at it. But Government severely frowns at anyone hindering our children from learning, because he or she cannot meet up with any fees”, Dr. Nureni Adeniran stressed.
“We also have plans to digitise teaching and learning in our schools and as the number of pupils’ population increases, we solicit supports of interest groups like NAPTAN”, Nureni Adeniran emphasised.
