A member of the Governing Council of the St. John Bosco’s College of Education David Amoliga has eulogized the immediate past Principal of the school as an exceptional leader.
David Amoliga, who is the alumni representative on the Council, insisted Prof. Joseph Amikuzuno is the best candidate to head the institution, stating that there can be no better replacement.
“I can tell you on authority there is no principal you will bring to that Bosco’s college that he can perform better than Amikuzuno. On authority mark it down from 10 years to come. Come and ask me whether what I said is true or not true,” he stated emphatically.
“He’s an exceptional leader and when you encounter such people you know. Somebody who will travel and come back and doesn’t want to take per diem. Have you seen it before? People are looking for good jobs to make money and this man will travel and come and say that he doesn’t want per diem”.
The Governing Council member said this while addressing the controversy surrounding the nonrenewal of Prof. Amikuzuno’s appointment as Principal in an interview with Dreamz News.
The outgone Principal was directed by a letter signed by Chairman of the Governing Council to hand over management of the school and step down his position by December 31, 2024.
The directive sparked protests among stakeholders including alumni, who demanded Prof. Amikuzuno be kept in office.
David Amoliga, who is among those insisting the immediate past Principal’s stay in office should be extended, accused the Chairman of the Governing Council Rev. Alfred Agyenta of instigating the nonrenewal of his (Prof. Amikuzuno’s) appointment.
Although the Council had resolved to maintain Prof. Amikuzuno as Principal, the Governing Council Chairman unilaterally recommended his replacement, David Amoliga alleged.
