Osun State
Internal Revenue Service (OIRS) has sealed off over 700 private nursery,
primary and secondary schools for non-payment of registration fees and taxes.
Acting
Chairman Bicci Alli said at a news briefing in Osogbo that the institutions
disregarded paying or renewing registration fees.
Alli, who
said the schools operated for years without licences, added that the government
was left with no option but to shut them.
He said the
exercise was to recoup taxes.
The acting
chairman urged proprietors to pay levies and taxes to support government’s
effort to improve education standard.
