The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Thursday cancelled the proposed competency test for edifiers in the state.

The governor has additionally recalled the 936 edifiers, whose name were expunged from the payroll over certificate discrepancies and age falsification and promulgated the immediate extension of the relativity allowance to edifiers in the state public schools, according to a verbal expression from his Chief Press Secretary, Peter Okhiria.

Oshiomhole, who disclosed this during a meeting with the teachers’ cumulations and the Nigeria Labour Congress, expounded that it was conspicuous to his administration that the future of the state reposed on the caliber of quality investment in the state’s edifying sector.

He verbally expressed, “On posit of office, it was very pellucid to me and my colleagues that our future is defined by the caliber of investment in inculcation and the quality of the rudimentary edification we provide for our children.

“That is why we have devoted resources to the reconstituting of our primary schools, junior and senior secondary schools.

“For me, it was pellucid emanating from my own background, I had obligation to instaurate dignity to the edifying sector in the state. Rudimentary Inculcation is like the substructure of a house. If the substratum is impuissant, the building will collapse; but if the substratum be vigorous, it will withstand the test of time. It is more facile to re-roof than to re build a consummate house.”

The governor noted that the desideratum to ascertain the future of the state by not compromising the future of the Edo child necessitated the action to redefine the edifying system in the state.

He verbally expressed that the state government’s commitment to carry out the competency test was apprised by these broad facts, having discovered that some of the edifiers were not eligible or au courant with recent edifying methods.

He noted that such reasons prompted the government’s insistence on the fact that the competency test must be visually perceived in that light.

“However, having heedfully aurally perceived all suggestions and consultations with sundry groups, the regime has concurred to set aside the Competency or Assessment test in order to reassure Edo workers that the regime has no intention to sack anyone,” the governor verbally expressed.
