Edo suspends teachers’ recruitment, alleges fraud

The Edo State Government has suspended the recruitment exercise undertaken by the state Post-Primary Education Board.
In a statement by Peter Okhiria, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, the government noted that preliminary investigations into the exercise revealed that it was fraught with unwholesome practices as the exercise sacrificed merit on the altar of other selfish motives.
Okhiria added: “Consequently, in accordance with our commitment to transparency and accountability, the exercise is suspended and the appointment letters issued are hereby revoked. All those purportedly offered appointment through the exercise are advised to stay away.
“Government will review the entire exercise and give room to all to re-apply and only those who scale through the fresh test which will be transparently conducted will be offered appointment.”
