The Akwa Ibom State Government has said the recent recruitment of 1,000 teachers into public secondary schools is not to fill quotas from the 31 local government areas but to engage qualified workers into the system.

Okon, who disclosed that Ibeno LGA has sued the state government for recruiting only six of its indigenes out of over 278 applicants, said it was worrisome that Ijaw Youths Council had joined in the suit. “For the recruitment of 1,000 teachers, we followed the guidelines as given by the governor. The governor was not looking for local government quota to fill or slots for anybody; he was looking for quality and qualified teachers who can help the school system,” she said.

“And by my own understanding, when there is emergency you don’t follow protocols. Some protocols have to be broken so that you can achieve you want.“The same thing happened in 2020 with COVID-19 pandemic. Government had to divert funds from other sectors to health because that was the immediate priority.”
