The Chairman, The Bells University Parents’ Forum (BUPF), Ota, Ogun, Mr Rotimi Dosunmu, has advised parents to support the institution’s vision of giving sound education to their children and properly moulding their character.
Dosunmu advised in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Ota.
He urged parents not to limit their role to only paying their children’s school fees but also teaching them good morals that would make society a better place to live in.

“If we do not leave everything to the government, the system would be better.
“Parents should support the government, not only by paying their children’s school fees but also ensuring that their children are properly trained and developed,” he said.
Dosunmu stressed that if children were properly brought up, the country would experience peace. Criminal activities such as kidnapping, rape, and armed robbery would be reduced to the barest minimum.
He noted that the inability of some parents to train their wards on good morals properly had compounded the problems in the education sector and the society at large.
The forum chair appealed to the Federal Government to properly fund the education sector, adding that the quality of education would be enhanced through adequate funding and parents’ support.
He urged parents not to shy away from cautioning their children against bad behaviours. (NAN)
