Ikere Ekiti Parents Urge State to Reclaim Schools from Missionaries
Parents and guardians in Ikere Ekiti have requested the Ekiti State government to take over the administration of Annunciation School, African Comprehensive High School, and Saint Louis Grammar School from missionaries. They cite misadministration and ineffective management since the schools were handed over.
Mrs Margaret Olaoye, a parent, noted a decline in student enrollment linked to increased school fees. Mr James Alonge echoed concerns about the schools' poor management, urging state intervention for better administration.
The Supreme Council of Ikere Youth, led by Chief Akin Afuye, recently staged a peaceful protest to the palace of Oba Adejimi Adu Alagbado, advocating for the state to reclaim the schools. Afuye criticized the underutilization of facilities and the abandonment of many areas.
Oba Adu-Alagbado stated that the issue is being addressed by the State House of Assembly and expressed hope for a resolution.
