The petition also alleged that “APSON wish to commence a determination of the agreement you reached to merge/fuse with NAPPS within 21-Days'” which expired on July 19, 2017, also cited
However the petition made available to journalists in Benin City, recalled that contrary to expectations, APSON had since discovered that they were misled to endorse the purported merger with NAPPS in 2013.
It further alleged that APSON directed its members to formally notify “Edo and Delta states government and in particular, to revert to the status quo ante in 2013 (that all matters involving Private schools Proprietors in the states be handled through the elected representatives of APSON”.
