Education: RSUBEB Charges Staff On Govt’s Vision
Chairman of Rivers State Universal Basic Education Board (RSUBEB), Sir Alii Oruitemeka , has urged members of his staff to work assiduously to enhance the achievement of the State Government’s objective in education.
Oruitemeka, who made the call Friday, at the maiden edition of Send- Forth/Awards ceremony of retiring staff and those recognised for their hard work, noted that only devotion on the part of staff can make the Governor Chibuike Amaechi-led government policy on education achievable.
“The Government has done so much in the education sector in the State in terms of infrastructure. What is required is for us to put in our best”, adding that “all of us can do better”.
According to him, the retirees and awardees were honoured because they had served meritoriously in their various capacities, saying that if he had the authority and given the dearth of teachers in the state, he would have “retained the services of most of the retirees because they still looked young enough to work”.
He urged serving staff to be challenged by the recognition given the retirees due to the legacy of dedication to duty they have left behind. He also charged the staff to work hard to earn award by the next edition of the awards ceremony.
The RSUBEB boss used the occasion to thank the State Governor for the support give to the Board so far, saying “it is his support that has made RSUBEB the best in the federation in terms of achievements”, adding that the general staff contributions also enhanced the feat.
In her speech, the State Commissioner for Education, Ms Alice Lawrence-Nemi, commended the Board for recognising hard work, noting that it can only bring out the best in the staff.
The Commissioner, who was represented by a Director in the Ministry, Mrs. May O. Solomon, urged the retirees to be exemplary in retirement, while congratulating the awardees for working so hard to be noticed.
A total of 17 retirees and 11 awardees were honoured.
