Akwa Ibom to recall suspended 5,000 teachers

                                        

Governor Udom Emman­uel of Akwa Ibom State has reversed his decision not to absorb the 5,000 teachers recruited by the immediate past administration under controver­sial circumstances.

Upon assumption of office, the governor had stated that he would not list the teachers on the state’s pay-roll and on October 29, 2016, cancelled their appoint­ments over alleged irregularities in the recruitment process.

But on Wednesday, the Head of Service (HoS), Mrs Ekereo­bong Akpan, told journalists in Uyo, the state capital that the teachers’ appointment would be revalidated.

She said that the revalidation exercise will hold on Saturday, February 11, 2017.
