The Catholic Mission and Ministry of Education, Asaba, are presently at loggerheads over the running of the school
Actually, new understudies were to continue for the new scholastic session in September, yet a tussle broke out over the proprietorship between the congregation and the service.
Bulletin conveying dissenters driven by the president general of the network, Ovwigho Emmanuel, raged the castle of the Ovie of Ughelli, HRH Oharisi III and the workplace of the Chief Inspector of Education, CIE, in Ugheli North, saying: "We have issued a fourteen day final offer to the Catholic Church to hands off their case of possession on the school."
"The people group did not pitch the land to the Catholic mission but instead, the land was just rented to them and the possession guarantee of the mission is incorrect," he attested.
Executive of Communication of the Warri Diocese, Rev. Fr. Benedict Ukutegbe and the Catholic Dean/Vicar of Ughelli, Rev. Fr. Godwin Orudje, declined remarks when reached.
Discoveries by NDV demonstrated that the school with two locales was worked by the state government before it was supposedly given back to the Catholic Mission together with 26 different schools in 2011 by the Delta state government under the organization of previous senator, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan.
An authority of the Warri see, who favored secrecy, disclosed to NDV that the state government did not formally takeover the task of the school from the congregation.
"You would concur with me that in 2011, 27 out of 40 schools were given back to the Catholic Church, including St. Theresa's Grammar School.
"In any case, for this situation, the Delta State government endeavored to assume control over the activity of the school in one of the locales in the wake of offering it to the congregation and needs to run it only without the contribution of the congregation, and we feel this isn't right, so that is really the core of the issue," he included.
Government granted an agreement for the remodel and overhauling of the second site of the school, now known as Government Model Secondary School, Ekuigbo. From accessible data, the school was to continue the 2018 scholarly session, September 17, on fruition of the building task and instructors under the State Education Board had been exchanged to the school.
Understudies who passed the placement test as directed by the state training specialist had finished their enrollment pending the resumption until the point when the disarray set in with the Catholic Mission guaranteeing responsibility for school under its teacher administrations. Not to miss the 2018 scholastic session, guardians of the conceded understudies needed to re-enroll their wards at other accessible schools.
In spite of the fact that the state magistrate for Basic Education, Chiedu Ebie, declined remarks on the issue when reached over the dissent, the CIE accountable for Ughelli North, Anthony Akponovo, while guaranteeing the general population of his help, stated: "The service had been on this issue for a spell and we are still on it, yet I need to guarantee you that it is sought after to obvious end result."
