Schools in Kwara State would not accept any instructional materials with pictures of any personality, according to a statement issued by Press Secretary, Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Yakub K. Aliagan.

This follows allegations that instructional materials donated to public schools in Kwara from the Mandate Office of former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki had pictures or other insignias of the former senate president.

Information on social media also alleged that those materials were rejected at the schools and there have been calls on the government to speak on the development.

The statement claimed that the state government was not aware of the distribution of the instructional materials in the first instance.

The statement read, “The appropriate thing to do is to send those materials to the Ministry of Education, which has a statutory duty of vetting learning materials for quality control and then approve such for distribution.

Not doing so was a violation of a basic rule, which is key to strengthening our institutions and keeping standards.

“Besides, it is wrong for anyone to emblazon their images or personal logos on instructional materials made with public resources for distribution in public schools.

The said materials were some sort of Constituency Projects, which had been approved and funded by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

“It is instructive to note that the Kwara State Ministry of Education recently approached Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to mass-produce instructional materials with his picture emblazoned on them ahead of school resumption and the governor rejected the proposal on the ground that there should be no personalisation of projects executed with public funds,” it said.

Saraki now a rejected man in his own town .

How times change

Stupid state with nothing to show.

See school

School wey mumu

Senator Bukola Saraki wants to use backdoor to stage a comeback. Master schemer!

Would he have allowed for instance Lai Mohammed to donate self-branded instructional materials to public schools when he and his Mandate Group was in charge in Kwara State?

When you're in power treat the people right cuz no one stays in power forever. Life is more than money sometimes.

False reporting and usual APC lies and propaganda. Skools didn't reject d materials, d state govt thru it's ministry of Education did... Dis ppl are jus pathetic and petty.. Campaign and election is over but some ppl are jus want to use every opportunity and avenue to smear and portray supposed enemies in bad light.. Someone offers free school materials and U are pained becos it had his insignias? Which kind of pettiness is dat?

Turboking:
i taught u hv sense until u wrote this next time u tink u hv an opinion nd u want to let it out let common sense guide u

For starters it is spelled "thought" and not "taught". Secondly ur problem is jus absolute lack of sense and spelling but U also need to go back to skool to learn punctuations. U need those books more than U know.

Good move

THIS VERY RIGHT!
WE WILL STONE USELESS POLITICIANS
WE WILL BEAT CURRUPT LEADERS
WE SHALL REJECT BLOODY GIFTS

UNTILL WE GET A BETTER NIGERIA

Must everything be politicalized?
So what will happen to the said materials now?


I weep for my country.

Pay back time

Did the student hold any meeting to say they won't accept, politician play with everything even the future of the young one

Stupid boy face ur state

This saraki dude done suffer.
Make them find one commissioner title give am before owu blow am finish

Good for them

Everything na politics...as if na saraki kids go lose

These ones are not serious.

Please give it to a more serious school.

This is enough to withdraw my ward from such a school.

Your loss, Mr. Principal!

Vetting school materials like notebook, pen and pencils? How? Do they vet the ones parents buy from shops?

A rejected stone

I agree with this one. politicians seeking glories for their selves, how market?

Doctee:
There lost

Whose loss is the tuition paid for your studies?

That's wrong

That one na normal, even in lagos if you want to share resources, you must go through Local Education District.

The first question they will ask is, "Who is donating it?", because they must announce the benefactor.

Once the person is a PDP member, a
known associate of PDP members, or a known critique of Tinubu, the current governor of Lagos, APC or Buhari; they must reject or else everybody in that LED office and the school principals of the schools will lose their jobs.

No be today........

Buhari is a mad dog with no iota of wisdom and a certified idiot

Saraki is using all means to stand relevant but it looks very hard for him.
In d meantime, I have a brief analysis here. If u burn #2,145 (15litres) fuel, say, every 3 days, then, in a year you would have expended # 260,975 fuel + #20,000 for maintenance. In 2 years u would av spent over 560k. That's too massive.
