Okeowo disclosed this in an interview with The PUNCH during the 2024 Graduation and Prize Giving Day celebration of the school held in Arepo, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.

According to Okeowo, students can no longer participate in excursion programmes that will aid their knowledge base and contribute to their academic prowess due to the increasing cases of insecurity.

She added that there was a need for the government to review some of its policies amid the harsh economy that is affecting businesses in the country.

Okeowo said, “There are many challenges facing private schools and education in Nigeria. One of such is the issue of insecurity which has affected extracurricular activities. For instance, school children can no longer go on excursions which will help them to develop beyond the classroom. We cannot take children on excursions because of the fear of the unknown.
