This is coming almost a year after the late Ufah, a Physics teacher at Alihame Mixed Secondary School, Alihame, Ika south local government area of Delta State, tragically lost his life in the line of duty.

Recall that Ufah allegedly met his untimely death when a parent identified as Mr Nweke on October 18, 2023, rushed to the school to fight him after he reportedly punished his (Mr Nweke’s) child and other students for allegedly scaling the school fence to steal palm wine at a shop outside the school promises.

The incident which attracted heavy criticism at that time moved the state government to make several promises, including assuring the family of the deceased of justice.

The state government also gave scholarships to the four children of the deceased.

Presenting the cheque to the wife of the deceased, Mrs Christiana Ufah, the state commissioner for Secondary Education, Mrs Rose Ezewu said that the gesture was to show government’s support to the family and described the incident that led to the death of the teacher as quite unfortunate.

Earlier, the permanent secretary, Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Augustine Oghoro stated that in October last year, the state and the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education in particular recorded the tragic incident.

Oghoro said that shortly after the death of the teacher, the state governor, Hon Sheriff Oborevwori directed the ministry to immediately pay a condolence visit to the family of the deceased teacher.

He explained that the governor had approved the sum of N2.5 million to support the family, adding that the governor said that the state government would take up the education of the children.

The permanent secretary noted that in demonstration of the pronouncement, Governor Oborevwori approved a scholarship award to four children of the deceased teacher to enable them actualise their educational dreams.

In his remarks, the secretary of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Delta State, Comrade Dan Basime appreciated Governor Oborevwori for the magnanimity, stressing that the role played by the commissioner in facilitating the kindness was commendable.

The executive secretary, Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board, Dr Godfrey Enita, who was represented by the director of Planning, Research and Statistics in the Board, Mr Solomon Igbriwi urged the family of the deceased to furnish the board with the necessary information to enable it carry out critical documentation needed for the smooth implementation of the scholarship.
