The South-South Zonal Executive Council of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) has announced the immediate and indefinite suspension of the Delta State Executive Committee over alleged gross misconduct and constitutional violations.
The decision, unveiled at a press briefing in Asaba on Monday, February 16, 2026, followed what the council described as a formal review of the state leadership’s actions under the provisions of the NAPPS Constitution 2023 (as amended).
In a statement jointly signed by the South South Zonal President, Dr. Ochuko Akpeme, and other zonal officials, the council said the action followed a formal review of the Delta State leadership’s conduct under the provisions of the NAPPS Constitution 2023 (as amended).
The suspended executive committee, led by Mrs. Precious Young, was accused of violating several constitutional provisions, including Article 96 Part B (ii), (xii), and (xiii), as well as Article 24 (iv).
According to the Zonal Executive Council (ZEC), the infractions strike at the core of the association’s governance and disciplinary framework.
Among the allegations listed were unlawfully presenting themselves as a neutral body separate from NAPPS, acts of insubordination to constituted authority, dissemination of misleading information to members, and making unauthorised decisions beyond their constitutional powers.
The ZEC also accused the state leadership of failing to remit zonal and national dues and producing materials in the association’s name without approval from the National Executive Council (NEC).
It said those actions created confusion among members and undermined confidence in the association’s leadership structure.
“As a result of these violations and in line with the sanctions clearly provided in the NAPPS Constitution 2023 as amended, we hereby invoke disciplinary measures and suspend the Delta State Executive members indefinitely,” the statement read.

The suspended officials have been directed to hand over all association documents and properties in their possession to the Zonal President within three days of receiving the notice.
The council warned that any official act carried out after receipt of the directive would be deemed null and void and could attract criminal interpretation.
To prevent an administrative vacuum, the ZEC confirmed that an Acting Delta State Executive Committee will be nominated and inaugurated to oversee the affairs of the state council.
Despite the disciplinary action, the council acknowledged what it described as the earlier good intentions of the suspended officials and wished them well in their future endeavors.
Other signatories to the statement include Dr. Victoria Odubo (Board of Trustees), Mrs. Margaret Ebowe (Zonal Vice President), Hon. Egre Mike Nshum (National Council Member), and Mrs. Joy Okoye (Zonal Financial Secretary), indicating broad zonal support for the decision.
