The Ondo State Government has made it compulsory for all
pupils and students in the state to
recite the Oodua Anthem in their schools .
The order reportedly affects all the private and public
institutions from primary to tertiary level in the state.
This was contained in a circular sent to all stakeholders
from the state Ministry of Education,
Science and Technology. The circular was signed by the Permanent
Secretary of the Ministry, Mr Akin Asaniyan.
The circular, titled ‘Recitation of Oodua Anthem in all schools’, was made available to our correspondent on Thursday in Akure.
It read in part,“Please note that, at the just concluded inter-schools debate
and award ceremony organised by Ondo State Ministry of Education Science and
Technology, held on Thursday February 25,
2021, at the International Culture and Event Center (The Dome) ,
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, announced
that the state has adopted the Oodua Anthem and it is to be recited by the
residents of the state.
“In the light of this development, Mr Governor has directed that the anthem is
now compulsory in all public and private schools ( primary and secondary), as well as tertiary institutions in the
state, to be recited by all students and
teachers henceforth.”
