He again appeals to the bursars to have a secret place where parents who have school fees issues can be attended to rather than handling them in open spaces which psychologically affects the performance of the pupils as it can also be a way of torturing by bullying at school.
On the issue of traffic, Fred Enanga encourages parents not to leave their children outside school premises when they drop them, and those moving on motorcycles should have helmets.
He urges pupils who are day scholars not to use feeder roads which may be dangerous to them as strangers may use the same routes to kidnap them while others may be victims of other crimes.
