Oyo Govt Reaffirms Ban on Phones, Smart Devices in Schools During Exams

The Oyo State Government has reiterated its ban on the use of mobile phones, smart watches, and Meta eyeglasses in schools, especially during examinations, warning that violators will face strict penalties.

Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Olusegun Olayiwola, issued the warning on Wednesday during a meeting with key education stakeholders at the ministry’s conference room in Ibadan. Attendees included Permanent Secretaries, Inspectors-General of Education, and Heads of Departments.

Olayiwola said an official circular had already prohibited the use of mobile phones within school premises and examination halls, and called on school administrators to enforce the rule without exception.

He noted that beyond mobile phones, other smart devices such as smart watches and Meta eyeglasses were also banned, as they could be used to aid cheating during examinations.

“We must all work together to uphold the integrity of our education system and maintain discipline across our schools,” the commissioner said, urging teachers, parents, and guardians to closely monitor their wards.

The directive comes as part of the state government’s ongoing efforts to promote academic discipline and curb examination malpractice in public and private schools across Oyo State.

They claimed that the campus medical staff failed in their duties, which they believe directly contributed to the tragic outcome. In response, Olasunkanmi Olajide, the Acting Head of the Directorate of Public Relations, in a statement, denied any culpability on the part of the medical staff. Olajide while confirming the student’s death attributed the unfortunate outcome to the actions of Ayodele’s friends, whom he accused of handling the situation unprofessionally. According to the statement titled “Tragic Loss of Ayodele Israel Ifeoluwa: FUNAAB’s Response and Actions,” Ayodele suffered a severe asthmatic attack while off-campus. Olajide said, “In an unprofessional attempt to help, his friends inserted a spoon into his mouth and poured water on him to resuscitate him. Subsequently, efforts were made to find a motorcycle (Okada) to transport him to the University Health Centre.” He noted that upon Ayodele’s arrival at the health center, medical staff, including doctors, a matron, and nurses, attended to him immediately. However, they determined that Ayodele had already passed away before reaching the health center and acknowledged that the outcome might have been different if an ambulance was called instead of resorting to an Okada for transportation. It was gathered that Prof. Babatunde Kehinde, the Vice-Chancellor of FUNAAB, personally met with Ayodele’s parents to express condolences and offer support. The university has also constituted a committee to thoroughly investigate the incident, aiming to determine the immediate and underlying causes and to understand the circumstances to prevent future occurrences.
