Edo state teacher shocks Governor Oshiomhole by not being able to read her credentials (Video)




Governor Adams Oshiomhole received the shock of his life when he paid a surprise visit to the State Staff TrainingCentre at Asologun Primary School, Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, Benin City, on Tuesday.
A female teacher Mrs Augusta Odemwinge who has spent 20 years in the profession, could not read a sworn affidavit she tendered as part of her credentials. She was stammering.
On arrival at the centre, the governor took time to peruse some of the teacher’s credentials and documents presented. When Mrs. Odenwingie took her turn for the exercise, the governor asked her to read the affidavit she presented.
Like play like play she read out the first word and began stammering as she read the affidavit - she read it as if a kindergarten were learning to read.
The teacher, when asked to repeat a sentence she didn’t read well, replied the governor in ‘pidgin’ English saying “make I start am afresh”.
Governor Oshiomhole who was shocked, said

“if you can’t read, what do you teach the pupils, what do you write on the board?”

He had to help her read the document at some point....
Reacting to the incident, Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers NUT, Comrade Ikosimi described Mrs Odemwingie failure as an embarrassment.  Watch the video after the cut...
