The Kwara State Ministry of Tertiary Education, Science and Technology has expressed displeasure over the poor turnout of the proprietors for renewal and registration of Old and New Advance Coaching Centres in the State, stressing that it may soon clampdown on the defaulters.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Hajia Hafsat Jummai AbdulRahman stated this at a meeting with the proprietors of the Advance Coaching Centres in Ilorin, the Kwaa state capital.
While advising them on the need to approach the Ministry for renewal and registration fee of their centres, she counseled them to be weary of imposters going round to collect renewal and registration fees in the name of the Ministry, adding that the centres must device a means to reach out to the Ministry if such incident occurs so that the Ministry could take necessary measure against such persons.
She expressed joy for the fruitful and meaningful contributions from the various members of the proprietors and urged them to form a COVID-19 committee for each centre to ensure compliance with the protocols.
For their part, the representatives of the Advance Coaching Centres, Mr. Folorunsho Sunday, Dr. Isiaq AbdulWaheed and Mr. Agoola Olumide thanked the State Government for giving them the enabling environment to help contribute their own quota to the development of Education subsector in the State.
They stated that there were many centres in the state now than before but only few of them have renewed and registered so far, adding that they will do everything possible to ensure compliance to register with the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS) at the Ministry.
