The governor of Osun state, Ademola Adeleke has ordered the suspension of the implementation of new school fees for students in Osun State polytechnic, Iree.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Osun State Ministry of Education, Adelani Aderinola on Friday. 

The statement dated December 15, 2022 was addressed to the school sector, stating that the school fee was to take effect from the beginning of the 2023 academic session.

The statement made it known that the implementation of the school fees was suspended due to the change of government.

The letter read in part,  “Further to your letter reference number OSPOLY/BUR/101/VII/239 dated December 13, 2022 on notification of approved fee for the 2022/2023 academic session, the management of the institution should suspend the implementation of the new school fees regime because of the recent change in leadership of the state.”
