Niger State PTA Sues Education Commissioner, DG Schools Over Alleged Illegal Dissolution, Seeks Court Injunction

The Niger State Parent Teachers Association (NIPTA) has filed a lawsuit against the Niger State Ministry of Basic Education, the Director General of Schools and Education Reforms, and a caretaker committee chairman over the alleged illegal dissolution of the association. Filed at Minna High Court, the suit seeks an interlocutory injunction to stop the caretaker committee from operating pending the determination of the substantive case. NIPTA argues that as a legally registered corporate entity with the Corporate Affairs Commission, it cannot be arbitrarily dissolved, describing the government action as unlawful and capable of causing irreparable damage to the association.
