National Vice President, South- South Zone of National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools,(NAPPS), Delta State Chapter, Dr. Ochuku Akpeme has accused Federal, and State Governments of being insensitive to the growth and Development of Education in the country.

Dr. Akpeme stated this in an interview with Journalists in Asaba during her 2022 NAPPS retreat, with its theme: “Changing Role of Private Schools in Providing Safe Learning Environments”.

Akpeme noted that October 12th is usually set aside every year to celebrate the NAPPS impacts and values in the society as well as x-rays the activities over the years.

He added that NAPPS look at the possible ways of improving Education in Nigeria, that the theme of the retreat focuses majorly on security as a major challenge facing our dear country.

He maintained that Education is a National problem with government at all level, making reference to the current ASUU strike for 8 months on.

According to him, I am pained that our university students are at home, our leaders have the attitude of I don’t care to education, there is no way Nigeria can develop if we keep on undermining and underrating the educational sectors.

He urged government to have a rethink and give education the needed attention if they want this country to develop and move forward

Also , the National President, NAPPS, Chief Yomi Otuela, posited the need for members to consider investing in perimeter fencing of schools, collaboration with Community security personnel, installation of CCTV, improve welfare package for Security within the school as a strategy to curb insecurity.

Earlier on his address, the State Chairman of NAPPS, Deacon Monday Ifoghere hinted on challenges bedeviled the nation’s society especially at a time when teachers and learners are going to school in fear due to unabated insecurity.
