The Lagos State Ministry of Education has cautioned the private school owners in the state not to in any circumstance give or attempt to give bribes to any of its officials or that of its agencies and departments who may have official engagements with them. The state Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo gave the advice at an interactive session with the private school operators and allied services at this year’s edition of the Total School Support Exhibition (TOSSE) programme held at Oregun in Ikeja, last week. “So, I’m imploring you to instead of bribing officials (if any at all), use the same money to develop your schools,” she advised. She also said the window for free service on materials testing for new school buildings had been closed and that such service is now being rendered at a cost that is also friendly. A teacher from the school, Mr Olajide Adeniyi, said the students produced those items outside their academic work.
