The Oyo State Government on Tuesday suspended a secondary school student, Ojo Roqeeb, for assaulting a corps member.
This was contained in statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Hon. Wasiu Olatunbosun.
According to the statement, the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Barrister Rahman Abiodun Abdu- Raheem, frowned at a reported case of Ojo Roqeeb, a SSS 2 student of Anglican Commercial Secondary School, Orita-Mefa Ibadan, who slapped a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps, ordering an immediate one-month suspension for the student.
The Commissioner, who visited the school also said the suspension will serve as a deterrent to other students, adding that a letter of suspension be given to his parents.
He also said the student, on return, must apologise to the corps member and sign an undertaking not to repeat such an act.
While addressing the students, the Commissioner charged them to be of good behaviour, reiterating that Oyo State Government will not condone any act of indiscipline.
He sternly warned that any student caught acting in uncivilized manner will henceforth be dismissed from schools in Oyo State.
Barrister Abdu-Raheem also charged teachers to be more dedicated and punctual at work.
