The Kwara State Government has expressed disapproval over the practice of branding donated materials for public school children with political messages or images.

“This practice, which includes emblazoning the picture of the donor on such books or school materials, should stop,” according to a statement by the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development Hajia Sa’adatu Moddibo Kawu.

“While every support for public school is welcome and appreciated, the government has a standing policy that such materials do not come with political branding of any kind.”

According to the statement, it is on record that education materials that the state government donated to school children between 2019 and now usually do not come with the picture of His Excellency the Governor, who feels such practices are not healthy for young children.

The statement added that public officials and private individuals should kindly take note of this stressing that the government appreciates anyone who gives any form of support for public education.
