Addressing a briefing at the weekend, Ajakaye expressed dismay at the closure of seven Catholic schools even as some of them are preparing for their NECO examinations.
The closure, according to him, followed the breakdown of negotiations between the Diocese and government representatives.

“The affected pupils are writing exams and government is closing down their schools. That is insensitivity.”
