The Incorporated Trustees of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), under the able leadership of the Board of Trustees (BOT) Chairman, Hon Abdulmumuni Kundak; with the National Executive Council (NEC) led by Chief Yomi Otubela, FCMA, is pleased to announce a significant legal victory in the ongoing proceedings against the illegal Board of Trustees (BOT) chaired by Dr Mijinyawa, with their illegal NEC led by Hajiya Samira Jibril, and their state NAPPS affiliates.
Today, the court, sitting on an ex-parte motion, granted the prayers of the Incorporated Trustees of NAPPS, issuing the following orders:
1. *Restraint on their illegal Conference*
The court issued an order restraining the defendants, including their assigns, officers, agents, staff, or any other persons acting on their behalf, from organising or participating in the purported NAPPS conference scheduled for 19–20 November 2024 at Baze University Abuja or any other venue.
2. *Prohibition of a Parallel NEC*
The court also granted an order restraining the defendants, including their assigns, officers, agents, staff, or any other persons acting on their behalf, from running or operating a parallel National Executive Council (NEC) of NAPPS, pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.
NAPPS remains steadfast in its commitment to upholding the rule of law, fostering unity within the association and advancing course of private education institutions in the country.
All NAPPS States affiliates, as well as the majority of private school proprietors across Nigeria are enjoined to note that we have only one NAPPS legitimate body recognised by law. We have only one BOT and one NEC.
We therefore urge all members and stakeholders to disregard all activities and communications with the illegal BOT led by Dr Mijinyawa and the illegal NEC NAPPS led by Hajiya Samira Jibril. All the deceived state affiliates and all NAPPS members are encouraged to aligned with the constitutionally established leadership of NAPPS NEC led by Chief Yomi Otubela.
We urge you to attend the legitimate NAPPS International Conference and Exhibition (NICE Calabar 2024) holding on the 20th and 21st November, 2024 at the International Conference Centre, Calabar.
Together, we will continue to safeguard the integrity of our association and work tirelessly towards the progress and development of private education in Nigeria.
SIGNED,
ENGR. JEN UDOCHUKWU,
ASS. SECRETARY,
INCORPORATED TRUSTEES Of ASSOCIATION Of PROPRIETORS Of PRIVATE SCHOOLS (NAPPS)
