Professor Akinwumi while reacting to the letter said, “it was part of the strategies by the Universal Basic Education Commission in collaboration with SUBEB’s to embark on execution of SBMC’s projects known as SBMC – SIP for the purpose of improving on the infrastructural facilities of public primary schools across the states of the Federation.

He highlighted the projects to include Micro, Macro and Special Case whereby a total sum of N1 million, N2.5 million and N5 million is budgeted for the projects respectively, adding that for each of the projects, the SBMC of the benefitting Schools are expected to provide 10 percent of the project fund as counterpart fund before approval is given by UBEC.

Prof. Akinwumi however denounced the attitudes of the SBMC of Elemi Community Primary School, Ado Ekiti for looking outside its SBMC for unspecified fund to finance a project yet to be approved for the school and described such as a sabotage against the free and compulsory education policy of the State government.

While affirming that the SBMC has the provisional right to provide for the 10 percent counterpart fund in both cash and kind, it was not part of its duties to go about asking members of the public for donations in churches and other religious settings.

In a letter written to the School”s SBMC to condemn the action,  Prof. Akinwumi said the school has always enjoy Government’s presence as a block of 3 classrooms was recently constructed for the school, adding that the school has also been considered for perimeter fencing in the on – going 2023 UBE/ SUBEB Intervention projects.

The letter reads in part, “It has come to me and the State government that the above named school has written a letter to the public soliciting for fund to execute a project.

“It is true that UBEC in collaboration with SUBEB’s from time to time embark on micro, macro and special case projects known as SBMC-SIP to execute infrastructural projects which is part of the commission’s school improvement strategies 

However, neither UBEC nor SUBEB expected the SBMC of any school where such project is to be executed to raise a 10 % counterpart fund outside its SBMC.

To this end, the State Universal Basic Education Board absolutely dissociate from the move by Elemi Community Primary School Afao road Ado Ekiti and condemn the act, stressing that it was against the free education policy of the state government.”
