Amosun
Today, 23rd November, 2015 marks the eleventh week of the 13 weeks that make up the first term of 2015/16 academic session in Ogun State. A desirous and conscientious government would by the eleventh week of the term be conducting or winding down examinations at this time. But in Ogun State, the reverse is the case, at eleventh week, no plan is seen towards the examinations.
Mr Joel Adegbenro, a teacher of English Language sets a question which the government considered critical of its attitude to education. This singular and patriotic act cost him his job; government sacked him along with other ministry officials.

A poorly equipped public school in Ogun State
Till date, issues raised by Adegbenro are still constant in the system. Amongst others, he sited late, irregular and improperly conducted examinations as a major bane of poorly managed educational system. A governor who is genuinely concerned in the development of the school children will not handle the educational policies of the state as he's doing. The present JS 2 & SS2 students didn't know their level of performance until the end of the session. Those categories of students of those classes couldn't get their academic reports because government couldn't print dozziers; a booklet containing academic performance of a student. Many of those students repeated their classes because they weren't aware of their performance so as to brace up in their academic pursuits.
Information from grapevine indicate that government still owes the contractor that prints both the question papers and the dossiers. When you still owe your printer, how would one be able yo motivate the printer to run another round of job on credit. The Ibikunle Amosun's administration should find a means not to destabilise and disorganise educational pursuits of these young lads whose fates hang on the government.
How best could a government refuse to set up examinations for its students through the 10th and and 11th week of a term? When in a week of 13 terms, no examination is organized or when organised; it is done at odd time, improperly organised and the examination question thronged the major streets before the paper is sat for.
Textbooks are no longer in schools. The ones that are in schools are not only obsolete but also archaic and irrelevant to the curriculum of the schools. Running cost has been a thing of history, laboratories, libraries and other coeducational facilities are not only obsolete but they are dilapidated and have turned to ghost of itself. Let the governor be reminded of Pastor Tunde Bakare encomium on the Awolowo family when he said that he became what he is today because of the free education legacy of the Awolowo family. That legacy is what Amosun's administration is now making a jest of. He has turned things upside-down and claims he's running free education.
