Plateau State Government Fires 747 Teachers


The Plateau State government on Wednesday announced the dismissal of no less than 747 primary school teachers.

It is understood that some of the affected teachers failed to tender the minimum teaching qualification certificates as required by the state’s Teaching Service Commission.

Also, the state government announced the reinstatement of 141 teachers disengaged earlier.

These disclosures were made today by the Chairman of the state’s Universal Basic Education, Mathew Sule, in Jos, the state capital, at a refresher course for officials in the education sector.

Premium Times quoted Mr. Sule as saying that the affected teachers did not present the basic certificates that qualified them to teach in public schools within the time stipulated for them to do so.

He further disclosed that those who had attained the maximum number of years of public service were also retired.

Speaking on the 141 teachers that have been recalled, Mr. Sule revealed that they had met the requirements laid down by government.

Shortly before he left office, the former administration of former Governor Jonah Jang had sacked over 4000 primary school teachers it found not to have the basic qualifications to teach.

But Mr. Sule also revealed that there was an urgent need to employ new teachers to fill the vacancies created following the development and to enable public schools to have teachers for all subjects.

#BBNaija 2018 Day 15: The Struggle For Immunity Beckons


The last #bbnaija Live Show was a revealing one that certainly shook the Housemates and changed their entire attitude towards the game. However, the #bbnaija housemates seemed less relaxed and more than a few showed concerns and fears about what’s to come.

The momentum gained in the #bbnaija house was an entirely different one depending on which side of the spectrum the housemates found themselves on. With Cee-C Failing to make it through to the Head of House qualifiers and the guys failing to the point of no return, it was evident that a power change was in the offing.

This meant that neither Tobi nor Cee-C could emerge as head of house this week and this seems like something the other #bbnaija housemates would cherish, especially since they havent performed well in the leadership position.

The declarations by the housemates during the diary room sessions and the revelations from the live show all seem to have been the catalyst to strategic talk and the revelations of nicely hidden agendas.

Much was revealed when Miracle and Nina were gisting about their position in the House, talking about how much they hated ‘fake’ people. Miracle seemed to have a soft spot for Tobi because of having been saved. He made it known that he believed Teddy A believed he was better than everyone and constantly delivered side punches directed at Tobi.

On the other hand, Tobi revealed that the other #bbnaija Housemates basically never looked at him as an individual, as he’s always associated to Cee-c, who is blamed for the downfall of the pair.

However, This cosiness and constant nods of agreement seemed to be driving the two pairs Cebi (Cee-C, Tobi) and Mina (Miracle, Nina) to form an alliance.

Prior to the Head of House Challenge, Bamteddy (Bambam, Teddy A) were rather confident about their strategy. Bambam mentioned that everyone assumed she will win and when it happens, they will bring their enemies to their knees.

The conversation soon turned to Tobi and Cee-C and Bamteddy talked about how the pair were stripped of their former glory and suddenly started acting nice. It was evident that they disliked thhe pair and wanted to give Cebi a dose of their own medicine. However, fate had a different plan asthe train went off the rails and shot to the direction of Khloe.

With an inevitable clash brewing in the #bbnaija house, the tension has reached an immense level. With the two pairs trying to prove their supremacy, there’s bound to be more than a few punches, hurts and bruises. The question however is who will come out unscathed?

Alexandre Lacazette Ruled Out For Up To Six Weeks After Undergoing Knee Operation


Alexandre Lacazette has been ruled out for four to six weeks after undergoing a minor procedure on his knee

Arsenal said on Tuesday that Lacazette “had an arthroscopy on his left knee in London” and that he “will now undergo a period of rehabilitation.”

Alexandre Lacazette had been expected to start in both legs of the round-of-32 Europa League tie against Ostersund.

Lacazette has lost his Premier League starting place to new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but the former Borussia Dortmund forward is cup tied in the Europa League.

Lacazette’s absence leaves Danny Welbeck as Arsene Wenger’s only real option up front after the club sold Olivier Giroud to Chelsea in January.

Arsenal play at the Swedish side on Thursday with the return leg at the Emirates a week later.

Emerson Palmieri Believes He’s Now Ready To Make His Chelsea Debut


Chelsea’s newest signing Emerson Palmieri has revealed that he is determined to make an impression in English football

Chelsea’s manager Antonio Conte has brought Emerson Palmieri to Stamford Bridge to provide competition for Marcos Alonso, and the Brazilian-born player is likely to be eased into action having spent a long period on the sidelines with a serious knee injury.

However, after playing a part in training and featuring in two matchday squads with the Premier League outfit, Palmieri has suggested that he feels ready to make his debut.

The 23-year-old told the club’s matchday programme: “Physically, I feel great. “The injury is now in the past.

“They were six difficult months for me but what is important is right now and I feel good. I couldn’t feel better so I only have in mind the idea of training with my team and helping us achieve success.

“I came here because this is a great club with a great history. English football is something I have been watching since I was 15 years old. It’s a really beautiful game over here and it’s going to be even more beautiful to play it. I’m coming here with great expectations.”
