Mr. Sunday Adeyemi, a school owner in Ibadan, has reportedly disappeared with funds earmarked for students’ WAEC and NECO exam fees, leaving their educational prospects in jeopardy.
The shocking revelation came to light through Adejoke Lasisi, the founder of Planet 3R, who took to Facebook to share the distressing news.
According to her post, many parents had gone to great lengths, even borrowing money, to ensure their children could take these crucial exams.
However, their hopes were shattered when they discovered that the school had not registered their children for the exams despite collecting the fees.
Adejoke’s post was fueled by both anger and personal experience, as her younger brother had once been a victim of a similar incident. Fortunately, her family managed to rally support and funds to re-register him for the exams.
The school owner’s actions were described as a betrayal of trust, especially considering he had operated “The Lord’s Favour” school for more than two decades.
It was revealed that Mr. Adeyemi had allegedly sold off his properties, including his home and the school itself, to finance his escape abroad, leaving the students and parents in a state of disbelief and hardship.
Adejoke concluded her post by emphasizing that while everyone has the right to seek opportunities abroad, it should not be at the expense of others, especially when it involves breaching trust and jeopardizing the futures of innocent students.

Yesterday, my bill for the conversion of Michael Okpara University, Umudike, into a conventional university passed its second reading.
This bill, seeks to transform the existing Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike in Abia State into a conventional university to expand its institutional mandate.
As an institution primarily focused on agricultural sciences, MOUAU has already contributed significantly to Nigeria’s agricultural development. However, broadening the university’s scope to include diverse disciplines would amplify its impact across multiple sectors.
With this bill becoming law, Michael Okpara University will be able to introduce programs in fields such as Arts, Medicine, Law, Social Sciences, and Humanities. This diversification will attract a larger and more varied student population, ensuring that MOUAU becomes a hub for learners from different academic and cultural backgrounds.
I am confident that, with the support of my colleagues, this bill will receive the necessary legislative approval and contribute to the advancement of our educational system, not just in Abia State but our nation at large. Deputy speaker Benjamin Kalu Says.

Minnesota High Schools Reject Trump’s Title IX Rules Banning Transgender Athletes

The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) has published a statement saying that it will not obey President Donald Trump’s updated Title IX rules that forbid transgender athletes from playing in girl’s sports.
President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that bans males who identify as transgender females from competing against girls. He also said schools that refuse to obey the rules risk having their federal funding rescinded.
But the MSHSL now says that it will place Minnesota’s state discrimination law ahead of federal Title IX rules and will not ban trans athletes from choosing whichever gender they wish to play as, according to Fox 9.
The state-wide school sports organization insists that its rules are “determined by state law, through the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the Minnesota Constitution.”
The statement adds that the high school organization will “continue to review the existing state laws alongside the new Presidential Executive Order and its timeline, processes for states, and requirements that are included.”
The memo was sent to all Minnesota high schools this week.
“In Minnesota, participation and eligibility of transgender student-athletes is determined by state law, through the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the Minnesota Constitution,” the statement reads.
“The Minnesota State High School League, similar to other youth sports organizations, is subject to state anti-discrimination laws, which prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. Therefore, students in Minnesota are allowed to participate consistent with their gender identity. League Member Schools have done excellent work in respecting students and their individual situations as they determine their participation and eligibility within interscholastic sports,” it continues.
“The League will continue to review the existing state laws alongside the new Presidential Executive Order and its timeline, processes for states, and requirements that are included.”
The president said the actions he was taking are long overdue.
“With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over,” Trump said as he signed the order on February 5. “And it should have been done long ago.”
