The teachers accused Mr Ujoh of extorting money from food vendors who were contracted by the government for the school feeding program, stating that his actions had undermined the program in Ugwunagbor.

Mr Ujoh was also accused of killing the standard of education in Ugwunagbor, one example cited by the NUT against him is that he had hijacked the exercise from the quality assurance department and been setting examinations questions outside the standard curriculum just for pecuniary reasons.
