The suspension order was handed down by the Executive Chairman, Osun State Education Quality Assurance and Morality Enforcement Agency, Dr. Isiaka Owoade.

Owoade, who gave the order when he paid an unscheduled visit to the school in Iwo, lamented the mass failure of the pupils of the school, noting that it was worrisome and amounted to dereliction of duty on the part of the school principals.

While noting that the state government would not condone indiscipline, poor productivity, ineffectiveness of public officers and dereliction of duty, Owoade also said it was an act of sabotage on the part of the suspended public officers that despite huge resources the state government had invested in education in the state, some principals were still comfortable with the low record of students at external examinations.

It was gathered that no single student of the school passed any subject in the recent 2017 external examinations, including WASC and NECO, a development which angered Owoade.

He asked the principals to proceed on suspension immediately.

According to him, “Following my unscheduled visit to Baptist High School, Iwo, all the five principals of the school have been suspended with immediate effect for poor productivity, ineffective leadership and dereliction of duty.
