Ogun: PDP slams Gov Abiodun for asking students to pay N25,000 for COVID-19 test
There was a protest in Ogun on Sunday when parents got to an isolation centre in Abeokuta and were asked to pay N25,000 to get their children tested for COVID-19.
Reacting, the PDP said it was shocked to the marrows to hear “the insensitive request by Governor Abiodun-led Ogun State government that secondary school students should pay a sum of N25,000 each for a laughable COVID-19 test as part of overall requirements for the reopening of schools for SS3 students to write their examinations.”
Bankole said, “For us as a party, such a request is sheer callousness. It signals irresponsibility. It clearly beats any sensible imagination that a government that prides itself as progressive has successfully thrown the required milk of compassion for the people to the dogs all in a wicked attempt to wreak untoward hardship on the people.
