The wide spread protest that took place in majority towns in Osun state today is really disheartening and totally uncalled for. This is a scenario that could be easily averted if proper measure has been put in place.
I will first of all sympathise with the majority students of our secondary schools in the state for the situation they find themselves at this eleventh hour. We have to all understand that the economy of the state is presently in coma and government is doing everything possible to revamp our dwindling economy. Till the state is buoyant again, we have to endure and this is one it. There is no two way out, government can't sponsor the whole WAEC fee of all students in the state for now. We must live with it for now. My only reservation for the government is that the notification of this norms is coming very late. The students should have been informed months ago that their parents will pay for this year WAEC fee.
Our parents need to understand that education can not be totally free at least for now on this country. The earlier we understand this ,the better for us all. They have to make the necessary sacrifice for the better future of their wards. This can serve as their own compliment to the little the government is doing.
I will enjoin the state government to liaise with the management of WAEC to review the payment deadline at least for the students of Osun state. This will allow many parents to meet up with the payment. Money isn't that easy to cough out with the current reality of our state economy. The future of many of the students will be at stake if they eventually miss out on this examination. This is a delicate issue that must be handled carefully.
Osun a dara ooo
