A primary school head teacher in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State has been suspended indefinitely for permitting a political rally within the school premises.
The state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, announced the suspension in a statement issued on Wednesday in Awka.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Anambra State Ministry of Education had, on August 14, issued a circular banning the use of school premises for political, social, and religious gatherings.
Chuma-Udeh said the head teacher of Community Primary School, Umunze, violated the ministry’s directive prohibiting all forms of unauthorised gatherings in schools.
She expressed concern over the disruption of academic activities and the safety risks posed to pupils during the rally.
“The state government is preparing to take legal action against the organisers of the rally, which disrupted learning and endangered the lives of the children,” Chuma-Udeh stated.
Earlier on Wednesday, there was mild drama when the Chairman of Orumba South Local Government Area, Mr. Shedrack Azubuike, stopped an unapproved political rally at a primary school.
Azubuike said his action was in line with the state government’s directive banning political, religious, or social gatherings in both public and private schools during school hours.
GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that the Anambra State governorship election is scheduled to hold on November 8.
