This he has demonstrated with the payment of N72,000 minimum wage across board\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d The Teachers in Kogi State have never had it so good like is presently obtained under the administration of Gov Ododo, one therefore will wonder the intention of the mischief makers and political detractors\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kogi State Senior Secondary Education Board, under the leadership of Dr Habiba Suleiman, as Executive Chairman, since assumption of office, made the plans and policies of Gov. Ododo as envisioned for secondary education, a top priority. It is therefore laughable and illogical for anyone who is scared of the ongoing repositioning by the KGSSEB Board Chairman to want to bring the name of the State Government into disrepute\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d We therefore use this medium to call on the Teachers and the general public to disregard the malicious information by naysayers. The Confirmation of staff in the civil service, having shown diligence and met the due process, is free and no amount is demanded\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d We have, however, called on the security agencies and others concerned to be on the look out for anyone who may be parading himself as a staff of Kogi State Senior Secondary Education Board or otherwise with the intention to defraud members of the discerning public for arrest and prosecution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
