The Ebonyi State Ministry of Education has indefinitely suspended two head teachers over alleged gross misconduct, denial of pupils’ right to quality education, and sabotage of the state government’s educational efforts.
The suspension letter, dated May 18, 2026, was signed by the Education Secretary of Ezza-North Local Government Area, Francis Nwonunku. The letter directed the affected head teachers to immediately hand over all government property in their possession to the next most senior officer.
“You are hereby suspended indefinitely as the head teacher of the above school due to your gross misconduct for denying the school pupils their right to quality education and also sabotaging the effort of our education-loving governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru.
“You are to hand over all the school properties under your possession to the next in rank with immediate effect and submit the copy of the handover note to the office of the Education Secretary,” the letter read.
Reports indicated that the suspension followed the circulation of a viral video showing the poor conditions under which pupils were receiving lessons.
The suspended headteachers were also reportedly accused of being responsible for the footage.
The video generated widespread online reactions after it revealed pupils learning in classrooms with unfinished block walls, inadequate learning materials, and poor infrastructure.
