Ayade approves recruitment of 1,000 teachers

Determined to improve the quality of teaching staff at the basic education

level in the state, the Governor of Cross River State, Prof. Ben Ayade,

has given approval for the recruitment of 1,000 teachers in the state by

the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
Consequently, the board has commenced the process of employing the 1000

teachers by calling for applications from suitably qualified Cross

Riverians.
A statement released in Calabar and signed by the Executive Chairman of

SUBEB, Dr. Stephen Odey said the governor gave the approval for the

employment of more teachers following discoveries made by the board during

its teachers verification exercise.
The board said it discovered that there were insufficient teachers at the

basic education level on account of high rate of teachers with fake

certificates, retirement and deaths, thus compelling it to approach the

governor with a request for more teachers to be hired.

“We are glad to inform the general public/applicants that His Excellency,

the governor of Cross River State, Prof Ben Ayade has graciously approved

the recruitment of 1000 teachers across the state by SUBEB,' the statement

by Odey read in parts.
The statement therefore, requested applicants “to forward their

application with photocopies of their credentials (NCE/B.Ed) including

email/telephone numbers to the Executive Chairman of the State Universal

Basic Education Board from Monday 29th August to Monday 12th September

2016.
The statement stressed that applicants will be subjected to vigorous

aptitude test, oral interview/verification of certificate before they can

be employed while emphasizing that “that any applicant that submits

fake/forged certificates will be handed over to the security agencies for

prosecution.”
