Anambra State Governor Suspends Four Principals Over Free Education Policy Disobedience

Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has taken stern action against four school principals across the state for their failure to comply with the state government’s “free education policy.” This development was conveyed through a press statement issued by Nnaemeka Egwuonwu, the Public Relations Officer in the state Ministry of Education.

The disciplinary action was officially announced by the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh. The four school principals affected by the suspension are Nkem Nkechi of Washington Memorial Grammar School, Onitsha; Onwurah Catherine of Kenneth Dike Secondary School, Awka; Dr. Cordelia Okonkwo of New Era Secondary School, Onitsha; and Amaka Ubaka of Prince Memorial High School, Onitsha.

These principals have been accused of acting against the state’s policy on free education. The investigation into their alleged non-compliance will be carried out by a committee established for this purpose. If found guilty, the principals may be required to reimburse any fees collected in violation of the free education policy.

Governor Soludo has been vocal about his commitment to the “solution-free education policy,” which ensures that students in Anambra State from early childhood development to Junior Secondary School do not have to pay any fees. Additionally, students in Senior Secondary School are only required to pay a maximum of N5,000 in line with the policy.

The state government’s dedication to this policy has been reiterated on multiple occasions, making the alleged violation by the principals a matter of concern. The disciplinary action sends a clear message that adherence to the free education policy is crucial for educational institutions in Anambra State.
