Kwara govt bans emblazoning picture of politicians on donated school materials
Kwara State Government, through the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, has banned political branding of the educational materials donated to the state public schools.
According to a statement by the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo, the state government frowned at a culture of people branding materials to be donated to public school children with subtle or obvious political messages and indoctrination.
She said, “This practice, which includes emblazoning the picture of the donor on such books or school materials, should stop.”
“While every support for public school is welcome and appreciated, the government has a standing policy that such materials do not come with political branding of any kind.
“It is on record that education materials that the state government donated to school children between 2019 and now usually do not come with the picture of His Excellency the Governor, who feels such practices are not healthy for young children.
The Commissioner, while appreciating the support for public education, warned public officials and private individuals to desist from branding further donations with political pictures.
