The Delta State Government has closed six private primary schools in Okpanam, Oshimili North Local Government Area, for operating without government approval.
The affected schools included Splendour Care, Immortal Dominion Academy, Glorious Height, Magnified Mercy, CossyJully Academy and Ducams Schools. These schools were sealed on Monday during a monitoring exercise by the Ministry of Primary Education.
Commissioner for Primary Education, Dr Kingsley Ashibogwu, said the schools had ignored repeated warnings and were running unauthorised academic programmes. “This decision is not meant to witch-hunt anybody, but for the academic well-being of our children. The schools will remain closed until they receive approval from the state government,” he said.
Dr Ashibogwu said the action reflects the government’s commitment to enforcing standards and ensuring only accredited institutions operate in Delta State.
