August 18, 2025 – The Benue State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has issued a disclaimer raising concerns after receiving reports from newly recruited teachers that money is being demanded for documentation at various Local Government Education Authorities (LGEAs).
The Board has clarified that such demands are not authorised and warned teachers against making any payments.
“No staff of SUBEB or any LGEA has been authorized to collect money for the recruitment process. As it is completely free of charge,” the statement read.
The Board further advised the new teaching staff to resist giving money to anyone under any guise during the documentation exercise. This move is part of efforts to protect teachers and ensure fairness in the recruitment process.
According to SUBEB, transparency and accountability remain central to its operations, with a strong commitment to delivering quality basic education across Benue State.
