Benue Assembly Directs SUBEB To Conduct Aptitude Tests For New Teachers

The Benue State House of Assembly also directed the Chairman and management of the Benue State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) to conduct the planned aptitude test for applicants to be recruited as primary school teachers in their various local governments.

The directive was to decentralise the exercise to cushion the effect of the present economic hardship experienced by the people.

The House gave the directive when Minority Leader Michael Audu moved a motion of urgent public importance drawing the attention of the House to the exercise.

Audu said he read a publication by SUBEB inviting all applicants for primary school teachers’ recruitment to Makurdi for a Computer Based-Test (CBT) and sought the inter vention of the House.

He suggested decentralisation of the exercise to save the applicants the cost involved in transporting themselves from far distance to Makurdi for the exercise.
