Comrade Ememobong said as part of measures to curtail the rising cases of cultism in secondary schools, the maximum age for admission into secondary schools has been pegged at 12 years, to curb the cultism surge in secondary schools.

According to him, investigation has revealed that the surge is caused mainly by overaged students who are on a mission of mass recruitment of students into cult groups.

“However, any student above this age with a genuine reason, will have their parents sign an undertaking of good behaviour, before their admission”, he added.

The expulsion of Ekpo had sparked criticism across the nation.
