Olufemi Atoyebi, IbadanThe Oyo State House of Assembly on Thursday passed a vote of no confidence on the state Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Adeniyi Olowofela, after he was invited to address the house on the handling of fund for the School Feeding Programme in the state. The resolution followed a motion presented by the lawmaker representing Irepo/Olorunsogo state constituency, Oseni Ganiyu. Ganiyu had noted that there was a noticeable abnormality in the handling of the feeding programme, which must be addressed by the commissioner and the others. He said, “The House has the right as an institution, but there was an allegation that the ministry was dividing the money meant for the home-grown school feeding programme into two. “This home-grown school feeding programme has, since inception, yielded N2.7bn to Oyo State and we have never asked anybody for a kobo.
