The Kogi state government has denied accusations of demanding money from teachers seeking confirmation of their service.
Recently, it was reported that the state government required each teacher to pay N10,000 for this confirmation.
In response, Dr. Aisha Mohammed Atojoko, the Secretary of the Board of Senior Secondary Education Board of Kogi (KGSSEB), issued a statement to the press on Saturday. He described the claims of teachers' financial demands as manufactures of mischievous people.
The statement said: “If the state government could recruit teachers without requesting a penny during the process, after being compromised and working for two years, the issue of confirmation is their right.”
“The current administration of the Usman Ododo government is resolved to make life significant for citizens. This has demonstrated with the payment of N72,000 minimum wage in all areas. ”
“The teachers in the state of Kogi have never had it as good as it is currently obtained under the administration of Gov Ododo, therefore, one will ask the intention of the travesura teachers and the political detractors.”
“The KGSSEB Board, under the leadership of Dr. Habiba Suleiman, as Executive President, from the assumption of charge, made Governor Ododo's plans and policies planned for secondary education, a maximum priority. Therefore, it is ridiculous and illogical for anyone who is afraid of continuous repositioning by the president of the Kgsseb Board want the name of the state government to discredit. ”
“Therefore, we use this means to call teachers and the general public to ignore the malicious information of the detractors. The confirmation of the personnel in the civil service, having shown diligence and fulfilled due process, is free and no amount is required. ”
“We have howd street on the security agencies and others concertned to be on the look out for anyone who may be parading hymself as a Staff of kgsseb or otherwise with the intention to disregard members of the discerning public for arrest and prosecution”, urged the teachers and the general public to the general public to the general public Disregard The Malicious Publication Titled: “Kogi Government Ododo's Administration Demands N10,000 Fee from Teachers Seeking Confirmation Letters” and Rely on Official Communications only of the KGSSEB and the Kogi state government to obtain precise information. “
