Abidoye condemns infrastructure dilapidation, congestion in Kwara public schools

Head, Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide, Most Reverend Samuel Adefila Abidoye, has called the attention of the Kwara State government to the dilapidated infrastructure and congestion in classrooms in most public schools in the state.

Speaking with newsmen in Ilorin, Kwara State on Wednesday during the 50th anniversary of the church at Cherubim and Seraphim College, Sabo Oke, Ilorin, Abidoye said that the situation had hampered teaching and learning environment in the schools.

He said that the state government should consider returning mission schools to original owners for effective management and development.

Reacting to a recent religious crisis in a secondary school in the state, he advised government to allow religious tolerance in schools, saying that various mission schools should be allowed to practise their religious belief in their schools.

He also called on the Federal Government to find lasting solution to insecurity challenges in parts of the country, adding that there should not be any sacred cow in any section of the country.

“Issues of kidnapping and killings in the country have left citizens with one eye closed whenever they go to bed. The abduction and the killings are no longer restricted to a part of the country as they have spread to every part of the geopolitical zones of the nation.

“The security of this nation is now the concern of all. The security forces in the country seem not to be in charge any longer,” he said.
