Kwara state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq took the teachers and staff of Gbodonji Primary School, Patigi unawares when he showed up at the premises today.

There were only two teachers available as at the time the governor visited the school at 12:40pm.

AbdulRazaq, noticing the lackadaisical attitude of the teachers, took his time to crosscheck the students' school notes, observing that the last time the notes were used was in March.

While interrogating the Head teacher, Gov AbdulRazaq learnt that there were certain abnormalities in the school. He also gave confessed that past governments have aided them in the nonchalant act, which included doctoring of students' data. His confessional statement further exposed the peculiarities in the educational ministry as the budget prepared and passed for education is not a true reflection of the number of students in government- owned schools within the state.

It was discovered that the schools in the state have been submitting projected numbers of the original number of students.

This arrangement has been a decision taken by past administrations to always prepare state's education budget based on the projected number of students.

The governor instructed the head teacher to immediately submit a detailed account which reflects the true situation of the school to the appropriate quarters.

Abdulrazaq also raised concerns on the rate at which school-aged children are abandoning school for farming, not only in Kwara North senatorial district but Kwara state as a whole. He promised to implement tested and trusted templates that can best arrest the situation urgently to stop the disservice to the future of Kwara rapidly.
