Cross River State Commissioner for Education, Senator Stephen Odey, has issued an ultimatum to the State Secondary Education Board (SEB) to submit a comprehensive report on the irregularities surrounding the now-reversed transfer of principals.
The transfer, which was recently reversed by Governor Bassey Otu, has raised concerns about potential financial transactions made to influence the posting and transfer of principals.
The Commissioner summoned key officials, including Director Administration/Acting Chairman, Mr. Paulinus Eno, and zonal representatives, to address the issue. He urged anyone involved in financial transactions related to the transfer to come forward and report to his office for further action.
