Yesterday, Ondo State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, denied the report that his administration had stopped free education for the students of public schools in the state.

In a statement on Monday by the Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Yemi Olowolabi, the state declared that it had not stopped free education.
The statement said the state government had yet to approve the recommendations of the summit and the government could not implement the recommendations until the final approval by the State Executive Council.
The announcement read mostly, "The dispatch from the summit is due to the outline of the perspectives of the considerable number of partners in the training segment in the state and more than 2,000 partners drawn from all kinds of different backgrounds took an interest in the two -day summit. "It is normal that towards the conclusion of any summit, there is a report, however it should be noted that the report from the summit is not yet the position of the legislature or government approach.
"Expectedly, the state Commissioner for Education, whose service composed the summit, will at last present the dispatch to the State Executive Council, where each point in it will be altogether discussed and discussed before government takes a position." The magistrate, who emphasized that the Akeredolu's organization was focused on the welfare of the general population of the state, asked the general population to resist the urge to panic until the point that the SEC evaluated each one of the focuses brought up in the report.
