The Rivers State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has dismissed claims of a witch hunt in the recent posting and reposting of principals and teachers across the state.
Speaking in an interview with our correspondent, SUBEB Chairman, Sam Ogeh, described the allegations as mischievous and a “tissue of lies” aimed at misleading the public. He said the board followed due process and ensured transparency throughout the exercise.
Ogeh explained that before any decisions were taken, he held a meeting with all school heads to secure their input and support. According to him, at no point did he make a unilateral decision regarding the transfer of any principal or teacher.
The SUBEB chairman also clarified issues surrounding the retirement of school heads, stressing that the board is strictly complying with established service guidelines and is committed to ensuring fairness in all administrative actions.
