WEDNESDAY , NOVEMBER 9, 2004   RAMADAN 28, 1425 A.H.           Principal, 6 teachers suspended for absenteeism The principal of Oko Secondary School, near Asaba, and six of his teachers have been suspended for two weeks for absenting themselves from duty. Also, all the teachers recently transferred to the school have been given up to last Friday to report for duty or consider their appointments terminated. The state Commissioner for Education, Dr Veronica Ogbuagu, gave the orders when she paid an unscheduled visit to the school. Besides discovering that teachers transferred to the school had not reported, she was shocked that between 8.25 a.m. and 9 a.m. when she was in the school compound, only two teachers had turned up for duty. The school Principal, Mr O.E. Ogbodu, and six out of his eight teachers had not reported for work before the commissioner departed, reports the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). Lamenting the ``irresponsible'' attitude of the principal and his teachers, Ogbuagu directed the Delta State Post-Primary Education Board to enforce her orders on the affected teachers. The commissioner also directed the immediate employment of an Edo indigene residing in Oko community for rendering free teaching service to the school. Some students in the school had told the commissioner that the polytechnic graduate, Mr Musa Jafaru, had for a long time been teaching SS III students Economics and Commerce free. At Amakom Primary School, Oko, Ogbuagu gave the English language teacher for primary six up to Dec. 31 to bring the pupils up to a level where they could read their textbooks. She had discovered while interacting with the pupils that many of them were unable to read their English textbook. A bewildered Ogbuagu told the teacher, Mr Patrick Udenna, who reported for work after her interaction with the pupils, to meet the ``challenge'' or face severe disciplinary measures.       SITE TOOLS Print This Page   EMAIL THIS PAGE Friend's Name: Friend's  Email: Your Name: Your Email:           � Triumph Publishing Company Limited 2004
