Some schools in Abia State have resumed for the 2024/2025 academic session in Abia, thereby disobeying the State government’s directive that they should reopen on Monday, 23rd September.
For this disobedience, the State government has said that its hammers of sanctions may fall on the schools and their principals.
The Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu stated this while briefing journalists on the outcome of this week’s State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Alex Otti.
He regretted that the actions of the schools ran counter to the strong regulatory measures being put in place by the State government in the education sector, maintaining that the Ministry of Education would carry out some investigations to find out those schools that flouted the directive.
“Some schools went ahead and resumed yesterday against the directive that was given by the Ministry of Education.
“As the government is reforming the education sector, the government thinks that it is necessary to ensure that a very strong regulatory environment is put in place to regulate the sector,” he said.
Kanu equally stated that the Abia State government Committee on the recovery of school lands had observed that apart from private individuals, religious organizations, communities and market associations were part of those that took over public lands illegally, adding that the committee was not relenting in the task to recover all such encumbered parcels of land.
