A pupil of Divine Academy in Ekiti State, Amidat Akingbolu, has filed a suit before an Ekiti state High court seeking a determination of the Court on whether the Ekiti State government is under legal obligation to provide free, compulsory and universal basic education for every child of primary and junior secondary age under the unambiguous provisions of the Free Universal Basic Education and Child Rights Law of Ekiti State.
The case has yet to be assigned by the Chief Judge.
According to the pupil and her counsel, Kabir Akingbolu, this policy contravenes section 2(1) of the Free Universal Basic Education Act of 2004, and Section 15 of the Child Rights Law of Ekiti State. The Catholic diocese of Ekiti State has also approached the court to cancel the policy.
Mr. Fayose is being accused of enforcing policies that run contrary to the provision of the law.
The governor is accused of failing to pay counterpart funding, under the Compulsory Universal Basic Education Act of 2004, to access federal government support to free primary and junior secondary education in the State.
He has also been accused of wasting hundreds of millions of naira in State funds on sponsoring political newspaper adverts, radio and television jingles, and renting private jets for political rallies.
