-The Bauchi State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, has disowned claims that it is selling teaching appointments, warning residents against falling prey to fraudsters.
In a statement released on Thursday, the board’s Public Relations Officer, Isah Mohammed Jungudo, said SUBEB had received reports that some individuals were extorting money from unsuspecting applicants with false promises of securing teaching positions.
“It has come to the notice of the State Universal Basic Education Board that some unscrupulous persons are collecting money from members of the public under the guise of facilitating teaching employment,” the statement said.
SUBEB made it clear that it has no involvement in the fraudulent scheme and urged the public to avoid engaging with anyone making such offers. “The board wishes to state categorically that it is not in any way associated with this illegal activity,” Jungudo said.
The board called on residents to report anyone soliciting money for recruitment into the teaching service to security agencies and other relevant authorities for investigation and action.
According to the statement, the notice has also been forwarded to security agencies to take necessary measures against those involved.
SUBEB advised job seekers to rely only on official communication channels for information on recruitment, stressing that employment into the state’s basic education system follows due process and is free of charge.
