Arising from the heavy backlash over the directive from Ogun state government that all private school students resuming for their terminal examinations should pay N25,000 to have COVID-19 test at government test centres, the state government has reversed its decision, Emerald News can report.

On Sunday the report went viral where parents protested against the directive to parents of private school students to pay the sum for the test for their children. The report says many parents and their children were turned back from the gate to the centre with the directive to pay N25,000 so as to gain access to the centre.

Parents complained bitterly against the government, even members of the public outside Ogun state attacked the government, where some said it was wicked of the Ogun state government to make ungodly demands on parents who are being hit by the impact of the deadly coronavirus pandemic in the country.
