The governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel has insisted on the termination of the appointment of 5,000 secondary school teachers who were yet to receive placement letter from the state government.

Mr. Emmanuel said the teachers’ recruitment, hurriedly done in the last days of the previous administration of Godswill Akpabio, was faulty.

“Even the bible says if the foundation is not right, what can the righteous man do?” a Government House press release quoted Governor Emmanuel as telling journalists on Wednesday, when he landed at the Akwa Ibom International Airport.

“We have tried to see how we could get something out of that recruitment process, but believe me, the foundation was very faulty.”

Mr. Emmanuel repeated what he had often said about the recruitment – that there was a syndicate which had given out fake appointment letters to thousands of unqualified applicants.

He said that prompted the cancelation of the recruitment.
