Mr. Agagu informed the school administrators the the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, is already collaborating with the Ondo State Internal Revenue Service, ODIRS  to work the modalities for payment, collection and remittance of the levy.

He said the mode of payment is being made easy as anyone can make his or her contribution from the comfort of his or her house, office or business place through his or her mobile phone and other methods, and urged all taxable residents of the state to be part of the laudable initiative.

The Commissioner urged school administrators in the state to work with the state government in its efforts at curbing examination malpractices and ensuring standard in the sector.

The State ANCOPSS Chairman, Pst. Adebayo Sanmi Ajimuda, who applauded the Ondo State Government for its efforts at repositioning education in state,  promised that the new state executives would work towards the successful implementation of government programmes and policies.

He emphasized that examination malpractices remain one of the hardraheaded problems bestriding the education sector in the state, promising that ANCOPSS would do all it could to tackle the monster headlong and bring it under control.
