duty posts, when Edo State Governor, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, paid
unscheduled visit to the schools in the state, Tuesday, have been
dismissed.
Oshiomhole, who disclosed this during the visit to Asoro Primary
School, Emokpae Model Primary School, Western Boys High School, George
Idah Model School and Esonere Primary School in Benin City, also
ordered deductions from the salaries of some teachers who got to their
schools after the 8a.m., resumption time.
The governor frowned at the lackadaisical attitude of some teachers to
work, noting that "the state government had provided suitable
environment in the schools. The teachers are paid good wages and
allowances. These beautiful classrooms are useless if teachers don't
teach the students."
The governor, who was at Asoro Primary School at 7:45a.m., went
through the teachers' attendance register and discovered that names of
teachers, who were yet to arrive the school were signed in.
He directed that adequate punishment be meted out to those who filled
in the names of the absent teachers. He said: "Any time a teacher does
not show up in school, the students will be wasting their time. The
head mistress will also be queried because she has the responsibility
to explain to me why people were allowed to sign fraudulently on the
register when they were not present."
