While highlighting the importance of adhering to the strict registration timeline set by WAEC given that the window for registration was limited and critical to students' future; as chairman House Committee on Education, he pleaded   with the Commissioner for Education to allow both factions in NAPPS to register their schools for the upcoming WAEC exams. 

As a former lecturer in the university of Calabar who understands the dangers of missing out on registration timelines, the Yala 11 (Ukelle) State Constituency representative made an appeal to the Commissioner for Education that only private schools whose dues had been paid into the state government's account be allowed to register for the exams.
