Muslim community of Oyo State on Thursday kicked against the stance of the state governor, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, towards agitation for the return of schools to their owners.



Akala had, while receiving members of the Olivet Baptist High School, Oyo Old Students’ Association led by the National President, Mr. Olusegun Ahmadu, in his office, said returning schools to their former owners was one of the corrective options to re-introduce discipline and good morals into schools, thereby bringing back the lost glory of education system in the country.



The Muslim community, in a communiqué made available to newsmen in Ibadan and signed by its chairman, Alhaji Waheed Olajide and secretary, Alhaji Wahab Gbadeyanka, described the development as unfair.



It said such move was deliberate to widen the educational gap existing in the state to the disadvantage of the Muslims. The community said the return of schools to missions by government was uncalled for, adding that it registered its opposition to such action.



It called on the government to consider opportunities rather than favouring a particular group, adding that a lot of government investments were in these schools and government could not afford to hand over the assets to a few.

MC Usman:

Is true oh You again Deeeppin zone :

Y re people so much against progress, isnt it obvious that the government can't fund and run these schools solely.

The pest again. Where on God's earth is Mc usman, Boyscott and my other Northern Darling, to come help me repond to this pest of a guy?

In this particular case I don't think the government is favouring any group, it is only returning the schools to its original owners which are mainly missionaries. The government shouldn't have taken over the schools in the first place.

When are muslims going to stop seeing everything as being "unfair to islam"?

1. It is abundantly clear the government CANNOT run these schools.
2. It is abundantly clear that educational standards were far higher when these schools were run by christian missionaries.
3. Muslims were given equal opportunity to attend missionary schools.
4. These schools were forcefully and illegally taken over by the government.
5. WHY CANNOT MUSLIMS BUILD THEIR OWN MISSIONARY SCHOOLS?

You again.

What do you mean by that? You again too!!!

Mc Usman you constantly refuse to explain your fascination with Nigeria.

Are you related to an ECOMOG soldier? I heard there are a lot of half Nigerian kids in Liberia.
