The Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board (TSUBEB) has dismissed allegations that five of its directors and other senior officials are unlawfully remaining in office beyond the statutory retirement age.
The allegations, which have been circulating on social media, were described by the board as false, reckless and defamatory, with the management accusing those behind the claims of attempting to mislead the public and damage the reputation of the institution and its leadership.
In a statement signed by the management of TSUBEB, the board said all matters relating to appointments, retirements, promotions and other personnel issues are handled in accordance with the Taraba State Public Service Rules and other relevant regulations.
“The public service rules provide for extensions of service where such extensions are considered necessary in the public interest. Such extensions are subject to due process and approval by the appropriate government authorities,” the board said.
TSUBEB specifically rejected
