Two Ebonyi Head Teachers Suspended After Viral Video Shows Crumbling Classroom

The Ebonyi State Ministry of Education has indefinitely suspended two head teachers after a viral video exposed the dilapidated state of their pupils’ classroom. The footage showed unfinished block walls, bare earth floors and no proper desks, sparking outrage online over the right to quality education. In a May 18, 2026 letter signed by the Education Secretary of Ezza-North Local Government Area, the state government accused the head teachers of gross misconduct and of undermining the governor’s education reforms. They are ordered to hand over all government property immediately and submit a handover note to the Education Secretary’s office. This incident highlights persistent infrastructure and accountability challenges in the state’s schools and raises questions about oversight in Nigeria’s education sector.
