Governor Seyi Makinde has described as blackmail, the statement by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT that the government has not been giving running grants to primary and secondary schools in the Oyo state.
OYOINSIGHT.COM had yesterday reported how the NUT berated the Makinde administration for the development.
NUT had said that the examination questions for pupils were written on boards because the state government had yet to give primary schools across the state running grants.
Goalpoacher News quoted the governor, who reacted during a government function yesterday, as saying that it was too said for teachers and schools who could not explain how they spent the running grants given to them previously to have used public sentiment to rubbish the image of the government by claiming that they had not received grants for two consecutive terms.
Makinde explained that teachers and the schools they are attached to couldn’t explain how they spent a whopping sum of grants previously given to them, a development that made him reject the proposed grant documents brought to him.
This was just as he noted that the union members, who went on air to rubbish the image of the government, are biased, challenging them to wash their dirty linen in public. “He who comes into equity must come with clean hands.”
Maintaining that when the schools give an account of how they spent the running grants previously given to them, the state will give them a new grant, he harped that all individuals who have looted and mismanaged the limited resources of the state will soon face the newly inaugurated Anti-corruption Agency, OYACA, and vomit all they have swallowed.
