The Rivers State Commissioner for Education Prof Prince Chinedu Mmom has announced the immediate suspension of the principal of Government Secondary School Borokiri Mr. Ewoh Ella over what he described as his engagement in criminal actions.
This was announced during his routine monitoring of WAEC examination in schools within Port Harcourt.
It was alleged that the Principal collected money from external candidates and used the spaces of the internal students to field in the external candidates thereby denying the legitimate students of the school the opportunity to write WAEC.
Prof. Mmom said the action of the principal is criminal, adding that he has admitted to the crime and the law must take its course. He encouraged the students to register in the forth coming NECO examination such that they don’t miss out in all external examinations this year.
