A shocking discovery has been made by a monitoring team going round schools to assess compliance with the resumption of Second term academic activities.
Reports said that at Sapele Technical College, Sapele, Delta State, the team was rattled to find out the following anomalies:
*At about 7.26 am when the team arrived, there was no presence of any Security man at the school gate
*Bushy and untidy environment including farming and wood milling activities
*Report of collection of illegal levies from students
*Aiding and abetting of ‘ghosting’ among NYSC members posted to the institution.
*Administrative incompetence
As a result, the Ministry of Technical Education has ordered the immediate redeployment of the Principal of the College, Mrs. Rosemary Itawansa following these serious infractions.
The Ministry, according to the report, further recalled that the affected Principal had on several occasions been verbally warned over conduct in the administration of the school but failed to make the necessary corrections.
It also cited a previous directive issued via a letter dated January 19, 2024 (Ref. No. MTE/SQA/82/33), posting the Principal to Model Technical College, Obiaruku, which was reportedly disobeyed.
“Consequently, and in line with disciplinary procedures, the Ministry has approved the redeployment of the Principal from Sapele Technical College to the Ministry of Technical Education, Asaba, for further posting.
“The principal is directed to hand over to the most senior teacher and resume duties at the Ministry on Monday, January 19, 2026”, the report stated.
