Gov. Dave Umahi of Ebonyi on Tuesday directed the immediate disengagement of 83 staff of the state College of Education, Ikwo, over alleged irregularities in their appointments.
Mr. Umahi gave the order in Abakaliki while receiving reports of the committees set up to investigate the institution’s administration, state’s higher education sector and the international market, respectively.
According to him, the disengagement should be effected within one week.
“This must be done before the government reviews the report submitted by the committee or visits the institution as also recommended.
“It is normal to recruit staff to achieve institutions’ accreditation objectives but the fact remains that they are not permanent staff.
“The practice encourages management of institutions to consciously or otherwise regularise such appointments without due process,” he said.
The governor also berated officials who make appointments without recourse to the geographical spread of the state
