This decision was made public by Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Humwashi Wonosikou, in Yola on Sunday. Wonosikou explained that the suspension is a precautionary measure to allow for a comprehensive investigation into the matter. In the meantime, the most senior director of the Board has been assigned to oversee the organization's operations to ensure they continue uninterrupted. Governor Fintiri's administration, which has been in power for seven years, has been actively working to revitalize the education sector. They have recruited qualified teachers, rehabilitated and constructed classrooms, provided instructional materials, and ensured regular salary and allowance payments, all of which have contributed to reversing the sector's negative trends.",
