Until it commences, I will not believe this.

Over 3 years now, we are still waiting on Buhari/APC to fulfil election promises.

APC give sweet they will collect ice cream from u ok make we dey watch

What analysis has he done to arrive at this point.

Someone will pay for 'free' stuff, does the government of Ekiti generate enough money for such program?

With which money?

Dumdumfashion:
Free education is not the best. The people who give you the education do it as a favor to you. They don't give it their best. Education should be subsidized not totally free.

They do. I enjoyed free education. Quality education is not synonymous to paid education

sojiboy:
In less than 24 hours sworn-in as the Governor of Ekiti State His Excellency Dr. John Kayode Fayemi declares Free education for Primary & secondary schools in Ekiti state, plan to start free feeding (Lunch) for Primary school as soonest.

PLS DON'T BITE MORE THAN YOU CAN SHEW, EKITI STATE SWIMS IN DEBT OF WHICH YOU WHERE A PART. PAY WORKERS SALARIES AND PENSIONS TO START WITH.

And the same state is in debt of over N100billion.

A failed regime already sited. Make sure as education is free, teachers and state workers will not also work for free without salaries. Rubbish.

divinelove:


Ekiti major problem is poverty, wealth creation and job creation. Skill development and entrepreneurship should be encouraged via soft loan. Stimulate the economy. He should pay workers too.

Education is not their problem they are well educated but living in abject poverty because they depend only on Govt money aka salary.

there is one professor in almost every family in Ekiti state but all these professors are paupers that barely can afford to feed well.

Poverty is the real problem in ekiti

Cheap popularity

Before I forget Ekiti should get ready for Fulani herdmen attacks too, APC is evil

Herdmen killings have subsided for now, coz election is around d corner. Their blood suckers sponsor have asked them to chill, perhaps until after d forthcoming election. Besides, Fulani can't attack Ekiti coz d incumbent governor is in APC, and you know, anyone in APC is free from all forms of threats, be it corruption, genocide or EFCC assault.

Govt is paying, its better than paying for stomach infrastructure. Teach people how to fish and stop giving them fish.

your hatred for APC will make you call white black. this typical of Nigerians .

why not applauds what is good and condemns what is evil irrespective of who is involved.

lest I forget it's your pdp that Bring to what it is now.

with this mindset, there's no need clamouring for youths to involve in leadership because it is still toeing the paths of our great grand parents.

Fayemi is a former governor of Ekiti, so he's not new at the job, he is learning from his mistakes!

LordofNaija:
Rochas Okorocha of Imo state did even more during his first few weeks, but head down to Imo state and see for yourself what has become of Imo state. You can't even drive into the state cos "acid rain" has eaten up the roads. Dr Agnes Nwanma is working

and your gullible brain didn't tell you free education will help the parents reduce money spent on education and have money for other things? since you concluded poverty is Ekiti problem

na wash! Fulani loading

With what revenue governor? Perhaps if you reduced your entourage, car fleet, feeding budget, and a modest inauguration, you might barely be able to pay teachers, forget "free education" where the schools have no walls, and "free lunch" where the chicken is barely recognizable.

I noticed some people are trying to rubbish or downplay this. Just cos of your hatred of APC. I pray you receive sense. Go and ask parents paying school fees what relief this is and learn to give credit when due

femi4:

I agree free education is better than 'stomach infrastructure' But is is not better to spend the money improving the quality of education, and creating enabling environment for businesses to sprout and thrive? Especially if parents are able to pay for their wards education by themselves.

Apc is party with action and shouting,bragging, insulting fayosa,who doesn't have any blue for governance in four whole year.

You are nothing but a fool in the hands of good people of Ekiti like me....must you show us your negativity?

Dumdumfashion:

You said it all.

Free education can't work in this age unless we are talking of education without standard. For education to be of good quality, it should subsidized. A win-win situation for the government and the citizens.

Free education is waste.

Ghidey:

What did divinelove say that is wrong: Ekiti is a poor state, and Government has not demonstrated ability to pay for its existing obligations. Why introduce new liabilities, when you've not added a plan to generate new revenues. He's not mentioned a concrete, actionable plan to increase revenues, but is quick to increase spending. That makes no sense.

Nigerian governments (fed and state) are notoriously inefficient at spending public money on education - we have many many examples of this. Instead of reducing the amount of money spent by parents (which really translates to inadequate facilities and unpaid teachers), the government should be focused on increasing job opportunities for those parents, which would translate to a higher standard of living, and revenue for the state.

The man has connections - invite industrialist to setup factories (take a cue from Ogun state in the last decades); give tax-incentives; harness your agricultural base; empower your educated workforce to become entrepreneurs. The money used for "free education" would see a better turnover if used to jumpstart companies (and government can arrange to keep 10% non-voting equity in those companies)...

There's a time and place for free education, but not until there are solid revenues and a system to support it forever.

Free is not *quality*

Nah so buhari promise free lunch

PointB:

You mean parents that are still owed backlog of Salaries.

Until Civil servants are paid as at when due and businesses are doing fine, free education is the way to go for now. Education can be quality and free....after all, I enjoyed free and qualitative education

Don't be a fool.

This is not how to run government. What must federal now allocate money to a state because the governor is a member of the party. What tied their hands to give the state its due allocation when Fayose was there. This is just pathetic. This was not how our fathers like Awolowo did it.

Once Fayemi's tenure expires and another party wins, the state returns to poverty because Abuja will not send their allocation.

So pathetic.

Why the country have continued going round a circle since 1960.
