The Rivers State Senior Secondary Schools Board has suspended the principal of Community Girls Secondary School, Ogbakiri Chibuzo Enyinda indefinitely for allegedly diverting WAEC registration fee meant for thirty-five students to his personal use.
Chairman of the Board, David Briggs disclosed this during a meeting between community members, parents of the affected students and members of the board.
Briggs ordered that Enyinda’s matter be directed to a disciplinary committee that would advise on what next to do.
He also assured parents of the affected students that the board would give special attention to their WAEC registration in subsequent occasions.
As stated by him, “Mr. Eyindah, the decision is very simple. I hereby place you on indefinite suspension. Your matter is also hereby referred to the disciplinary committee for further investigation and recommendation.
“I am also directing that the supervision and monitoring department of the Board should immediately go to NECO and confirm the authenticity of the registration of these 35 students.”
Meanwhile, Enyinda had explained that: “in January this year, I was diagnosed to have water in my lungs and the doctor told me that it was a medical emergency and he said I would die if I don’t treat it within 7days.
“I spent over N300,000. So, I used part of the money for my treatment because of this emergency.”
