NPFL: Taraba United Coach, Nduka Confident of Survival

Head coach of FC Taraba, Ndubuisi Nduka, has insisted that his team will continue to fight for their survival, in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPF). Nduka’s team lost 1-0 to Shooting Stars in their Match Day 34 game at the Lekan Salami in Ibadan. It means they remain in 19th place with 33 points, two ahead of bottom-placed Bayelsa United. However, Nduka says if they produce good performances in their remaining four matches, they will stay up.

“The struggle to stay alive continues until the last match on the calendar, it’s not over until it’s over,” the former Heartland coach told supersport.com.

“We have four more matches to play and those matches have the potential to turn things around for us, so we will give the matches our very best. “I feel bad losing the three points to 3SC as I would have loved to win to boost our survival battle.

“We lost the three points at the end of the day, so we must plan well to make up for the loss somewhere else. “3SC are comfortable on the league log but they still fought as if their lives depended on the game. “Like I said earlier, the struggle continues until the last match is played.”

Taraba Begins ₦5,000 Deduction for Teachers’ Permanent Identity Cards

The Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board (TSUBEB) has initiated a ₦5,000 deduction from teachers as part of arrangements for the production of Permanent Identity Cards for teachers across the state. According to UBEC, the identity cards are expected to strengthen staff records, improve security and enhance administrative efficiency in the management of teachers across Taraba State. UBEC further said the Permanent Identity Card project is also expected to assist the state government in developing an accurate and verifiable database of teachers. Such a database will provide Governor Agbu Kefas with reliable information on personnel within the basic education system and support more effective planning, monitoring and personnel management. The initiative is therefore expected to strengthen security measures, improve staff verification and provide a more efficient system for managing personnel across Taraba State’s basic education sector.
