Kwara Seals Extra Mural Coaching Centres, Cyber Cafes Over Violations

By -

The Kwara State Government has sealed off some extra mural coaching centres, computer, and cyber cafes across the State for failing to register, pay annual renewal fees, and comply with other regulatory requirements in violations of the State's regulations. Some of the affected centres were operating illegally without meeting the State's stipulated guidelines.

This was revealed by the Executive Director of the Agency for Mass Education, Mallam Yusuf Saka who was represented by the Agency’s Desk Officer for Continuing Education, Mr Adedare Olusegun and Mrs Komolafe Atinuke during an enforcement tour to the affected centres, recently, conducted alongside with the Kwara State Internal Revenue service (KWIRS) enforcement team.

According to Mallam Saka Yusuf, the government had earlier instructed all such centres to register and obtain the necessary permits. However, some failed to comply, prompting the enforcement measures to ensure adherence to the State's regulations.

The sealed centres include Upward Success Academy (Offa Garage), Samis Educational  Institute (Olunlade), Best Hand Coaching Centre (Odota), Leadership Seekers Educational Services (Asa Dam), Holla Success Computer Services (Sawmill Area), Dynamic Coaching Centre (Tanke), SoftRays Computer Institute (Tanke) and Cisse Edu Services, among others.

Mallam Saka reiterated that the affected centres will remain closed until they fulfill all the requirements and pay outstanding dues, warning that any unapproved centre found operating in defiance of the government's regulations will face the full wrath of the law.

He emphasized that the government’s move was aimed at regulating the activities of coaching and learning centres to ensure they operate legally and transparently. He also urged proprietors of the affected centres to cooperate with the government in its efforts to boost the State's revenue and improve educational standards.
