Examiners of the 2016 Primary School Leaving Certificate have seized the results due to failure of the Delta State Government to pay them their allowances.
AUTHENTIC News Daily also gathered that the examiners have also threatened that unless Governor Okowa pays them their wages, secondary schools in Warri will not admit students into Junior Secondary Classes as they almost beat up Our Correspondent at Nana Secondary in Warri South Local Government Area this morning for daring to inquire into the matter.
Our Correspondent who went round town monitoring admission processes into public and private secondary schools in Warri can report that the some of the examiners were very hostile as they described the Delta State Governor, Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa as a ‘Wicked man’ for failing to pay them their wages.
This is happening as primary school graduates are forced to sit at home for failing to present results for admission into Secondary Schools in schools in Warri and its environs.
Apart from a few private schools that admits students without tendering their results, the government schools are returning parents and their children back home.
One of the examiners who spoke on condition of anonymity said: “It is very bad
that Governor Okowa has not paid us our allowances since finished marking the exams that was written years back. I am disappointed in the governor.”
The Delta State Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Teachers, Comrade Jonathan Jemierieyigbe could not be reached for comments on the matter as at the time of filing this report as calls put across to his mobile phone line were not reachable.
Efforts to reach the Delta Commissioner for Basic & Secondary Education, Mr. Chiedu Ebie waere futile as persons contacted do not have his mobile phone number.
