The suspension follows some fraudulent practices discovered in the administration and management of the Board, such as dead persons, persons who have resigned and those that have secured employments in other places, still in the payroll of the Board and to the full knowledge of some members of the Board.
The Secretary to the State,Kenneth Ugbala made this known in a statement signed yesterday in the State capital.
The Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has approved the immediate and indefinite suspension of the state’s Secondary Education Board (SEB).
The statement also directs the immediate redeployment of all Heads of Departments of the Board to other MDAs, adding that a committee has been set up to conduct a comprehensive and thorough staff audit in the Board and submit report for further necessary action.
