…approves ₦8.7bn for schools’ learning materials, raises 2026 budget from ₦892.085 billion to ₦1.102 trillion
The Oyo State Government has appealed to the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) to allow students to return to school and stop the disruption of the academic calendar.
Dotun Oyelade, the Commissioner for Information, made the appeal after the state executive council meeting. He said that while the reasons for the NUT withdrawing students from school are understandable, the social and economic consequences are raising unintended concerns. Oyelade reassured the public that the government is taking strategic steps to resolve the recent kidnapping in the Oriire Local Government Area.
Funding approved for learning materials
During the session, the council approved the release of ₦8,76 billion in the first instance for the procurement of teaching and learning materials for primary and junior secondary schools across the state. The total cost of the project is ₦23,012 billion.
