Ogun Government BANS Fees, Levies in Public Schools

The government in Ogun state said it remains illegal for school heads in both public primary and secondary schools across the state to collect any form of fee or levy.

The Special Adviser to Gov. Dapo Abiodun on Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, disclosed this in Abeokuta on Wednesday.

Arigbabu spoke during the 2023/2024 Academic Session Pre-Resumption Meeting with education stakeholders in the state.

He said the state government’s free education policy is still in place.

“The cost of materials, maintenance and provision of facilities in schools had been taken care of by the government.

“So, people should be reminded that the present administration at inception cancelled all forms of payment to encourage children to have access to quality education, without paying any amount,” he said.
