Renowned educationist and Principal Merit Grade (Retired) Prince Churchil Owamiyemi Oki says the reason why serving school principals have not been appointed Ministers “is because they distance themselves from leaders in government”, even as he advised principals to work with the dictates of the Ministry of Education.
Prince Churchil Oki made the assertion in Warri while delivering a good-will message at the monthly State Wing Executive Council Meeting of The All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools, ANCOPSS held in Warri by the Warri South Chapter of the Confederation.
He enjoined school principals to have good dress sense and ensure they are present at the assembly ground, saying it is an avenue to exercise their authority.
