“In recent years, there has been a growing development of the involvement of secondary schools students in activities contrary to acceptable norms and values of our country and particularly the Omolúàbí ethos of Osun State. This latest advocacy by the Union is therefore targeted at curbing criminal and obscene advances that are becoming a commonplace in our pre-tertiary schools and inculcating rewarding behaviours in the students.”
“It is our belief that in having a sustainable environment, we have got to take cognitive measures against everything that may cause an impediment in the all-round development of the younger ones at this level of education.”
“The highpoint of the visit was the distribution of school bags and notebooks to the students.”
