Christian Asso-ciation of Nigeria (CAN), Oyo State Chapter has demanded the unconditional return of schools to the original owners.
The Chairman of CAN in Oyo State, Pastor Benjamin Akanmu, who made this call at a news conference in Ibadan, said that the Christian bodies are ready to improve the quality of education in the state.
“We are ready to have the schools back and give them quality improvement. We are also ready to partner with government at all levels in other developmental strides embarked upon,” he said.
Akanmu said that the government should maintain its function of making policies and curriculum for the schools.
The CAN Chairman said that government should be willing to take back teachers, who do not want to enroll in the services of the original owners of the schools.
He called on the government to dialogue with the labour union in the state, particularly on the outstanding salaries to end the current impasse between the duo.
