Delta APC Asks Okowa To Sack Two Commissioners, Gives Reasons

The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has called on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to sack the commissioners of Basic and Secondary Education who the party claims have failed in their responsibilities.

The party gave as its reason what it alleged was the dwindling state of education in the state’s public educational institutions citing what it described as stone-age facilities in some of the state’s schools.

“Delta APC is worried over the dwindling attention being given to education at those levels by PDP led-Government in the State. From available information at our disposal, learning at those levels have become stone age inclined due to inadequate learning facilities, including desks and teachers,” Sylvester Imoninia, APC spokesman said in a statement made available to  GreenWhiteGreen GWG as the APC justified the call for the sack of two commissioners in the Okowa administration.

“It is appalling that the “future leaders” of our dear State sit on bare floors to take lectures at the age of our development.

“A visit to Emiye and Emore Grammar Schools in Oleh, Ujevwu and Ovwian Secondary Schools in Udu LGA, Egburie, Ekwerigbe and Egware Primary Schools, Igbonine and Alaka Grammar Schools in Ozoro will convince any doubting Thomas’s of what the future of the State are passing through.

“The children in most riverine schools in Ndokwa East LGA live in a world of their own. To them, Government does not exist because year in year out, the condition of their Schools remain the same.

“Unlike in the yesteryears that Government used to make new desks for Schools that do not have enough desks before resumption of new term, the present Okowa led-Government care less about the comfort of our future leaders! We posit that it is either some people in the corridor of power are misleading the Governor or the Governor do not have the interest of the common man at heart.

Why Delta APC Wants Okowa To Sack Two Commissioners

“It is surprising to know that subventions for running of schools at the Basic and Secondary Schools’ levels have not been paid in the past six months! How do school administrators carry out their functions/assignments in such situations? The common man whose children attend public schools are made to pay through their noses because of the demands by Schools’ Headteachers and Principals who have cultivated the habit of shifting the responsibilities of Government to the poor parents!

“The lack of subventions to Headteachers and Principals by Government is now a recipe for corruption in public Schools. Who will save the poor parents!

“The purpose of creating different ministries to handle issues concerning our educational system is defeated. The Commissioners in charge of Basic and Secondary Education have failed in their responsibilities, and therefore, deserve to be fired!

“Delta APC challenges Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to up his game if he wants a better future for our children. Those children being neglected today may be our sources of sorrow tomorrow; God forbid!”
