The headmistress of Okotie-Eboh Primary School 1, Sapele Local Government, Mrs. Vero Igbigwe has been suspended by the Delta State Government over Success’ video which went viral after she was sent home for school fees.
Delta State Commissioner for Education, Barr. Chiedu Ebie who spoke on behalf of the state government told newsmen that the headmistress who was suspended could not explain the collection of examination fees from pupils, an act exposed by Success’ viral video.
Recall that after the video went viral, many celebrities and concerned Nigerians decided to help her. Many Nigerians have reached out to Success’ family since the video went viral on social media.
We reported earlier today that the state Commissioner for Education, Mr Chiedu Ebie who spoke on behalf of the Delta government, said that they operated a free education policy, hence the threat to sanction the school head and others who have been demanding examination levy or any other unauthorised levies from pupils.
“The fact is that we (government) operate free education policy in Delta State,” Ebie said. He further disclosed that many school heads had been demoted or suspended for imposing unauthorised levies on pupils, explaining that the only authorised levies in the state public school were for consumables and sports wears.
