Gov. Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti on Monday said parents who keep their school-age children out of school run the risk of being prosecuted.

The governor said that it was an abuse of a child’s right for any parent or guardian to deny school-age children the opportunity to go to school under any guise “The parents will also have to explain to the government or the relevant institutions why that child is not in school. Fayemi said his administration was opposed to the collection of fees in all public primary and secondary schools in the state, stressing that any teacher or head-teacher caught collecting school fees from pupils would be seen as collecting a bribe.

“We have a duty as a government to ensure that we get the figure back to where it used to be in order to build the foundation that is solid for our children.
