Oba Samuel Adegbola, the Eleruwa of Eruwa, on his part, urged government to ensure the people were properly informed on the new initiative.
Similarly, Alhaji Kunle Sanni, the Chairman, Muslim Community of Oyo State, said that the forum ought to have been organised before the advertorial for expression of interest was placed in the newspapers.
Rev. J.A Ajetunmobi, the Bishop of Ibadan South Anglican Communion, urged government to ensure that the levy it introduced was used in developing the schools.
He also reiterated the call for the return of mission schools to the former owners.
Prof. Moji Oyebola, a Lecturer in the Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, urged government to ensure that teachers and other workers in the state were promptly and adequately paid their salaries.
