RSUBEB Boss Tasks Desk Officers On Diligence, Dedication
The Chairman of Rivers State Universal Basic Education Board (RSUBEB),Ven Fyneface Akah, has charged desk officers in the board to be diligent and dedicated to their duties.
Akah gave the charge during a one-day cluster training of SBMC-SIP project implementation sub-committee, Desk Officers and signing of the project financing agreement with UBEC held in Port Harcourt, recently.
Addressing participants at the Model Primary School, Rumueme, venue of the training, Akah, who was represented by the Commissioner Services in the board, Sir Precious Baridoo, advised them to follow the programme with diligence, saying that the success of the programme would depend on what they can offer.
He reminded them that the partnership between the UBE Board and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) was something that everyone must tend with every sense of responsibility.
He charged the Desk Officers as well as the chairman, secretary and treasurer of the benefiting communities where the projects are to be sited, to count themselves as the privileged few selected to do what would benefit the schools and their various communities.
He warned that the funds to be released were not for their own consumption but for the actualisation of the programme, adding that all eyes would be on them to see what they were going to offer.
The RSUBEB boss appealed to them to ensure that the programme succeeds, saying that the role of the board would be to supervise and to monitor them in order to make the programme a success.
On his part, the Director, Social Mobilisation, Mr. Ibe Adirah, gave an overview of the programme pointing out that each of the 66 SBMC fund benefitting schools would have a chairman, secretary and treasurer.
According him, they will also have SUBEB Social Mobilisation Officers, UBEC team, SUBEB desk officer and the local government education SBMC Desk Officer to be headed by the Supervising Directors.
