Rivers school sacks teacher on ‘husband’s request’

Graced-One Nigeria Limited, the owner of a private secondary school located in Bonny Island, Rivers State, has terminated a yet-to-be-identified assistant teacher’s appointment on her “husband’s request”.

Certified on December 5, 2018, with a registration number 2712330, Ibitamuno Schools is located at 12 Julius Berger Road, Bonny Island, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

A letter to that effect was signed by a director at the school on October 22. The letter did not provide more details on why the school acted on the husband’s request.

“You are by this letter notified that your engagement/appointment with Graced-one Nig Ltd (Ibitamuno Schools) has been terminated with effect from 31 October, 2024. This is based on your husband’s request,” the letter read.

“You are advised to hand over Rais properties in your possession as an assistant to your teacher or supervisor on or before 25th October, 2024, as to enable you pick up your check from the monitor.”

When contacted for verification and comment on Monday, Adonye Pollyn Cyril, whose phone number was copied from the letter, confirmed the development. “Yes, there was such a letter from the school,” he said.

Although Cyril Pollyn refused to mention his portfolio at the school, findings showed that he is a co-proprietor of the school. Other proprietors of the school are Anna Cyril Pollyn and Gladden Cyril Pollyn, according to NG-Check.com, a website that provides information about registered companies and businesses in Nigeria.

The proprietor also refused to answer specific questions on the nature of the complaint the teacher’s husband made and whether the sack aligned with the school’s policy on employment termination.

“The issue is being looked into. I believe she has a right. We are trying to resolve it. There were errors somewhere, which have to be resolved. What you saw was not the end. There were both wrong and right and both of them will correct themselves, and they will be fine. I am on it,” Cyril Pollyn told FIJ.

Asked how long the investigation could take, Cyril Pollyn said, “It will not take too long. I don’t think it will exceed this week.”

Coupled with poor remuneration and unfavourable working conditions, private school employees in Nigeria grapple with job insecurity. Their fate is sometimes subjected to the whims of their employers.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.

The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.

He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.

His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.

“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.

“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.

“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
