The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has denied ordering the closure of Providence High School, Enugu, blaming overzealous persons for locking up the gates and allegedly assaulting a male staff of the boarding school.
AMCON’s Head of Corporate Communications, Jude Nwauzor, who spoke with journalists in Enugu, said the corporation would never make enforcement in schools, religious organisations and hospitals based on their peculiar nature, stressing: “Taking possession means showing presence and placing notices of the assets in writing.”
Criticisms had trailed reports of locking the gates of the boarding school with 344 female students by officials of the corporation who were on enforcement over alleged loan of N7.6b obtained with the school’s facilities by the original owner and others some years ago.
