The announcement was made by the Executive Chairman, Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board (NSUBEB) Mohammed Dan’azimi while inaugurating a seven (7) man implementation committee to disengage the said teachers.
The board executive chairman who was represented by the secretary of the board Hajia Hashiya Ahmed, stated that the committee has been given the mandate to take every necessary step to ensure that the affected teachers are registered with National Teachers Institute (NTI) and Collage of Education Akwanga to obtain requisite teaching qualification.
