The honorable Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau
following his meeting with stake holders and commissioners in the
education sector decided to do away with the idea of shutting school
down during the elections.
According to him this will likely disrupt academic calendar.
However,
this seems not to have gone down well with students. Some students of
OAU aired their opinions, below is excerpts of their comments;
According
to a student, “This is a criminal way of supporting the
disenfranchisement of Great Ife students in the coming elections.”
Another
student who commented said “I registered for the INEC adhoc job because
of the money involved so that I will be able to pay the increased
school fees come next semester but with the no election break
announcement, I am seriously confused.”
“I pray we have a peaceful election but anything can happen and so, we should see beyond now.
2011
is still fresh in memory! What will the school authorities do if any
violence breaks out after the election? Disperse students into the
violence? You see the decision to keep students in school is not making
any sense” a student said.
