The aspirants while advising those parading as candidates to desist, called on the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to urgently address the matter to avoid what may affect the party in the general election.

“The APC in Taraba State is yet to conduct her primaries for all the positions.

“Those parading as candidates are instead deceiving themselves, they are still aspirants because the party has not conducted any primaries in the state” The aspirants decried.

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.
