This decision was disclosed by the state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, who stated that the government acted after receiving a report that a classmate had allegedly injured the student’s leg.
During an inquiry, the school’s proprietor admitted to the incident and it was further discovered that the school was operating without the necessary government approval.
“The student was bullied by a classmate, resulting in a leg injury, which was reported to the ministry,” Chuma-Udeh explained. “The school’s proprietor, Mr. Uchechukwu Onyeachonam, was questioned, and he confirmed the incident occurred at his institution. It was also uncovered that the school lacks government approval.”

Governor Chukwuma Soludo subsequently ordered the school to be sealed by 2 p.m. on the same day.
“The existence of such illegal schools has been detrimental to the welfare of children in the state,” the commissioner added.
Chuma-Udeh also warned that owners of unauthorized schools would face legal action for violating state regulations. She urged parents to ensure their children are only enrolled in approved schools.
