It was gathered that the governor decision to sack the
teachers comes on the heels of lapses noticed in the
recruitment process of the affected teachers.
Governor Udom said that fake appointment letters were
issued to the teachers who were not qualified.
He said: “It was discovered that the syndicate which
had since been apprehended was involved in printing
fake letters of appointment and fake school certificates
at outrageous amounts ranging from 150,000 to 200,000
naira.
“Even the bible says if the foundation is not right, what
can the righteous man do? We have tried to see how we
could get something out of that recruitment process, but
believe me, the foundation was very faulty.
“If we are putting people to teach our children, please
let us leave sentiments apart and go for the right
people. We need to make sure they went through the
right process and have the right qualifications.”
However, the governor assured affected persons who
have the necessary qualifications of been considered at
the commencement of fresh recruitment.
He said: “We are assuring the 5,000 people that they
need not worry, when we are calling for aptitude test,
you need not re-apply, just walk into the venue of the
exercise with that appointment letter and justify that you
are qualified to teach our children.”
The cancellation of the teacher’s appointment was first
announced few days ago by the Head of Civil Service in
the state, Ekereobong Akpan, before the latest remark by
the governor.
It is believed to be an unexpected blow to the affected
teachers who for about two years now have been
putting pressure on the government to assign them to
public secondary schools across the state.
