The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Oyo State Chapter, has warned its members against the illegal collection of fees in public schools.

This was stated In a statement issued by the state secretary of the union, Mr. N.M Abdulahi, and made available to the Nigerian Tribune on Wednesday.

He said, “The state secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) Oyo wing has been flooded with the public outcry of the high rate of illegal collection of fees in our public schools, a situation which the state leadership of our union considered to be counterproductive to the well-accepted people-oriented educational policy of our amiable governor.”

It further stated that the state leadership of the union under the chairmanship of Prince Samson Adedoyin, would not condone any unprofessional act by such schools.
