The Kwara State Government has declared that there shall be no going back on
the administration crusade against cultism in the educational institutions in
the state.
Governor Bukola Saraki who gave the declaration at a dinner organised by the
Ilorin Emirate Forum called on elites and other pressure groups in the state to
collaborate with his administration to banish cultism from institutions.
In his message to the dinner through the Attorney General and Commissioner for
Justice, Alhaji Saka Abimbola Isau, the governor vowed that no rod shall be
spared nor shall any sacred cow be entertained in order to restore the glory of
education in the state.
He hinted that security agencies have been empowered to ensure that the war
against cultism is a must win, "academic studies and cultism cannot co-habit.
One must give way to the other and as long as we are in government, it is no to
cultism in schools and among our youths".
He added that the edict against cultism was fashioned such a way that any
arrested cultist shall face the full wrath of the law without mercy for
offenders.
