Government returned some schools back to their missionary owners

In September 2011 the Delta State government decided to return 40 secondary schools to their former missionary owners marks a significant shift in the management of education in the state. It reflects a broader trend in Nigeria where governments are restoring schools to religious organizations that originally established them.

Returning these schools to their missionary owners is likely aimed at improving educational standards, discipline, and moral values, which many believe declined after the government took over these institutions. Missionary schools in Nigeria historically had a reputation for academic excellence, strong ethical foundations, and disciplined environments.
