- From Rotimi Agboluaje, Ibadan

THEOyo State chapter of All Nigeria Confederat­ion of Principals of Secondary Schools ( ANCOPSS), yesterday, refuted a publicatio­n that it threatened a showdown with Governor Seyi Makinde over payment of school grants.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Pastor Ojetunde Mojisola and Secretary, Akin Akinade, the body described the publicatio­n as another propaganda that must be challenged, saying there was no time or occasion that called for such threat.

It said that the cordial relationsh­ip between the administra­tion and the ANCOPSS would not be allowed to be destroyed by those behind the ‘ spurious allegation,’ which claimed that the body has directed all principals not to commence examinatio­ns until grants are paid.

The Oyo ANCOPSS challenged those behind the report to come up with written or oral evidence of such directive from the leadership of the associatio­n.
