At Community Secondary Commercial School, Ikot Use Ekong,where Udofia met teachers not engaging the students that come to school,he frowned seriously at this attitude and urged them to show commitment from the first day of resumption as this will encourage students/ guardians to reciprocate their commitment and efforts. He concluded that the rise in school cultism is as a result of some teachers inability to engage the students actively while in school.
