…Says Obaseki Would Continually Work in
the Best Interest of Edo Residents
The
Insured Good People (IGP) Organization, an organization that fights against
molestation, abuse and assault have commended the Edo State Government for shutting
down and withdrawing the operating license of the Salvation International
School, for flouting the directive of the government on the closure of all
schools in the stateas part of measures to halt the spread of coronavirus
(COVID-19).
The
Special Adviser to IGP on legal matters, Barrister Ewah Gregory, made this
known to press men, Wednesday.
According
to Barrister Gregory, Nigerians love to flout laws and the only way to contain
them is to take aggressive but legal measures. “I see no reason why a school
amidst the epidemic of the Covid 19 would refuse to follow the state government’s
directive of postponing all academic activities until the wellbeing of
Nigerians are assured.
“Now
that the school has lost its license and the culprits facing the law, I believe
other schools and intending law flouters will learn a lesson from the story and
repent”, He said.
Gregory
added that everything the present Edo State administration does is for the
growth and development of Edo State and would continually work for the best
interest of the people. He asserted that the governor is erudite and that only
illiterates and ignoramus would fault the governor’s actions and inactions.
Recall
that Special Adviser to the Governor, Programme Management Office and Strategic
Planning Unit, Dr. Uyi Oduwa-Malaka and the Commissioner for Education, Hon.
Jimoh Ijegbai, led a team to lockup the premises of Salvation International
School, located along Airport Road, in Benin City.
Oduwa-Malaka
said the team responded to a distress call by concerned citizens in the area.
According to her, against the directive
of the state government, management of Salvation International School, allowed
students to continue attending lectures in mufti to conceal their identify.
She
added, “The management of the school has been arrested, while the school has
been sealed off for flouting the directive of the Edo State Government for all
institutions of learning to be shut down from 23rd March 2020.”
Commissioner
for Education, Hon. Ijegbai, warned that the government will not tolerate
flouting of its directives, adding, “We hope the case of Salvation
International School will be an eye-opener and serve as a deterrent to other
erring schools in any part of the state.”
