Edo orders shutdown of two secondary school over cultism vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
During a meeting between the acting governor and parents of the students, held at the school premises on Monday, April 1, in Benin City, Shaibu said the schools would be shut a week earlier than the scheduled date for closure, with only those in Senior Secondary School 3 and Junior Secondary School allowed into school, as others students have finished their exams.
He added, “What is key is that these students need serious moral rearmament. We have to refocus their minds toward education.” Stressing that the situation in the school is not a lost cause, he said the students can still be guided aright with the right mentoring and support. “The good news is that the situation is not that bad to the extent that these children cannot be helped. The complaints from the teachers and all other things I saw are policy issues, which we will go back to the office and discuss.
