Anambra State Commissioner for Education Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh says Blessed Wisdom Model School, Onitsha remains closed inspite of rumours flying around that the school has reopened for school activities.

 

Prof Chumah-Udeh disclosed this during an interview with ABS Education Correspondent, Queen Anigbogu in her office in Awka.

 

Professor Chuma-Udeh explained that recently a two-year-old pupil of the school who left home hale and hearty got battered in school, her tongue severed, her hand broken with bones shooting out and up till the time of this report, the management of the school has not told the Ministry of Education what exactly happened.

 

The Education Commissioner noted that the parents of the child and their lawyer came to the Ministry on three occasions and invitations were extended to the proprietress of the school on these three occasions but she refused to honour the invitations hence the closure of the school by the state government for obvious irreverence to human life.

 

She also stated that a committee has been constituted to investigate the issue.

 

On the ban on indecent school uniforms among secondary school’s students, Prof. Chuma-Udeh warned that any day she catches any student dressed indecently, she will not only punish the student but she will equally punish the principal of the school.
