Anambra State Commissioner for Education, Prof Ngozi Chuma-Ude, has again attracted wide condemnations in the state following her outburst towards a teacher applicant, who she called an idiot.

In a voice note which had gone rival on social media, the Commissioner who was reacting to an unknown applicant who called her for information regarding recruitment examination held over the weekend, dismissed the applicant teacher as a hooligan and idiot who would have no place in the education sector.

In the voice note, the commissioner said: “Madam, you’re an idiot. You mean the computers are doing what? I received a report by 12 noon that you people refused to stand in line, you refused to be identified, you mobbed.

“If you are employed as a teacher, is that what you will teach your students?”

The applicant was seeking clarification about the recently concluded teacher’s recruitment exercise in the state from her on the telephone.

The Commissioner also reacted to reports that there was a stampede in one of the examination centres where the recruitment exercise held, as applicants surged to enter the hall before others.

Recall that the Commissioner had previously been accused of being rash to applicants, and had on previous occasions been credited with saying that she answered 3,000 calls in one hour about the recruitment exercise and that she should not be disturbed by anybody, anymore.
