The school management also stated its readiness to assist with the welfare of the child till she gets back on her feet.

She called on the management to ensure that safety measures are in place to avoid a repeat of such incidents.


Every child in the state belongs to the government, hence the Ministry waded into the matter based on this premise, she added. 


She further said that the Ministry acted as a result of the petition written to the Ministry by the aggrieved parents of the child. 


Commissioner Chuma-Udeh, however, disclosed that she never anticipated the backlash the Ministry received while arbitrating between the two parties. 


In his reaction, the grandparents of the child Dr and Mrs. A A Anagu thanked the state government for the prompt intervention in the matter while adding that all they ever wanted was for the school to show some form of empathy for the injured. 


He said that since they have done that, they are ready to move on, letting bygones be bygones. 


Recall that social media has been agog with news of Blessed Wisdom Model School, Onitsha, and the 2-year-old pupil who was seriously injured while at the school.


The Ministry of Education received a huge backlash from the media when a ban was placed on the school by the Ministry.


The Commissioner of Education, Prof Ngozi Chuma-Udeh had in a press conference recently explained that the school was placed on a temporary ban to give the school time to comply with the recommendation drawn by the committee set up to investigate the incident.
