Based on the novel The Lekki Headmaster, why was Mr Ayesoro transferred from his teaching role?

Answer Details

Mr. Ayesoro was transferred from his teaching role because a student had recurring nightmares about him. Mr. Ayesoro is a Government teacher at Stardom Schools who has very deep and prominent tribal marks on his face. These facial marks frightened one of the younger students, a child named Bibi, who began having recurring nightmares after seeing him.

The student's parent (Mrs. Ladele) complained to the school management about the psychological distress her child was experiencing. The school's response was to transfer Mr. Ayesoro away from the classroom to Stardom Hub, the property wing of the Stardom Group of Companies. The transfer was not a punishment for any professional misconduct but rather a practical measure to address the parent's concerns and protect the student's emotional wellbeing.

Mr. Ayesoro was not transferred because of poor teaching performance, a personal request, or because the school specifically wanted him in the property division. The transfer was a direct consequence of the student's nightmares and the parent's complaint about his appearance.
