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

The Special Adviser to Gov. Dapo Abiodun on Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, disclosed this in Abeokuta on Wednesday. Arigbabu said it should be remembered that the state government’s free education policy was still in place, and advised Principals and Headteachers to encourage and promote merit in their various schools, while anyone desiring to make a donation to schools or use school facilities for any event, should follow government’s stipulated guidelines.
