Parents to be prosecuted in Abia for not sending children to school
Abia State government says it is now an offence for parents in the state not to send their children and wards to school starting from January 1, 2025.
The Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu disclosed this at the Government House, Umuahia, on Monday while briefing journalists on the outcome of this week’s State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Alex Otti.
Kanu, who said that the decision was part of the ongoing reforms in the educational sector of the state, stated that the issue of poverty is no longer a reason for non-acquisition of free and basic education in Abia State.
He stressed the need for parents to take advantage of the tuition-free policy in the state to send their children and wards to school, warning that defaulting parents would be prosecuted in line with the Abia State Child’s Law 2006.
“In line with the Abia State Child’s Law 2006, it will now be an offence for parents not to send their children and wards to school in Abia State.
“Education is free in Abia State up till the end of Junior Secondary School. There is no reason whatsoever why parents will not send their children to school.
“So, as from the first of January, 2025 when this policy will fully come into effect, defaulting parents will be prosecuted under that law,” he disclosed.
The Commissioner reiterated that the relocation order of the Umuahia campus of the Abia State University to the mother campus at Uturu remained irreversible but assured all affected stakeholders that fears and anxieties generated by the relocation order would be addressed.
He further stated that Governor Otti has directed the state Commissioner for Works to ensure that the failing flyover at Osisioma, constructed by the immediate past administration, is repaired without delay to safeguard the lives of Abians and other road users.

Drag anyone who refers to 1966 military action as ‘Igbo coup’ to court – Kanu to lawyers
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has ordered his lawyers to institute a legal action against anybody who refers to the 1966 coup as Igbo coup.
Kanu described the coup as unnecessary, stressing that only two Igbos were involved.
The IPOB lawyer disclosed this during his routine meeting with his legal team led by Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor at the facility of the Department of State Services, DSS, in Abuja.
Disclosing this via his X handle, Ejimakor said such unjustifiable hatred was the reason why Kanu remains in detention.
He wrote: “At today’s visitation with #MNK, he instructed us as his team of lawyers to take vigorous legal action against any person or entity that henceforth refers to the unnecessary 1966 coup as an Igbo coup. Full list of the 1966 coup plotters & their ethnicities are as follows:
1. Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu — IGBO
2. Major Adewale Ademoyega — YORUBA
3. Major E. Ifeajuna — IGBO
4. Capt. G. Adeleke — YORUBA
5. Capt. Gibson Jalo — BALI
6. Capt. Swanton — MIDDLE BELT
7. Lt. Fola Oyewole — YORUBA
8. Lt. R. Egbiko — ESAN
9. Lt. T. Katsina — HAUSA/FULANI
10. Lt. O. Olafemiyan — YORUBA
11. Lt. Hope Eghagha — URHOBO
12. Lt. Dag Warribor — IJAW
13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo — HAUSA
14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera — TIV
“Out of 14, ONLY 2 were Igbo; why Igbo traducers & Igbophobic falsifiers of history tagged it “IGBO COUP” only God knows.
“Such unfounded and unjustifiable hatred is why MAZI NNAMDI KANU is in detention without trial. Being the quintessential leader that he is, he doesn’t want any Igbo person to go through what he has experienced at the hands of the judiciary in Nigeria.”
