Bauchi SUBEB Dissolves Education Supervisors, Visiting Teachers

The Bauchi State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has officially dissolved the appointments of all Area Education Officers and School Support Officers across the 20 local government areas of the state.

The announcement was made by the Chairman of SUBEB, Alhaji Adamu Mohammed Duguri, during a meeting with Education Secretaries from the affected local governments.

According to him, “Others affected by the dissolution are Arabic and Christian visiting teachers, Early Child Care Development and Education (ECCDE) supervisors, and library supervisors under the twenty local education authorities.”

Alhaji Adamu explained that the decision is part of an ongoing reform aimed at overhauling the existing monitoring and supervision structures within the basic education sector. “This dissolution is part of the ongoing developmental strategy of a comprehensive overhaul of monitoring and supervision structures across the twenty local Education Authorities in the state,” he said.

He further directed the relevant departments within SUBEB and LEAs to ensure that the transition process is smooth and does not disrupt ongoing educational activities. “Henceforth, only school support officers by UBEC/SUBEB and LEAs will be recognized for the job,” he added.

The Chairman also stated that new appointments will be made soon, and that “new guidelines for the selection of school support officers have been developed to ensure a standardized and effective process.”

He said the new guidelines will be distributed to all LEAs to promote improved quality and consistency in the support provided to schools, with a strong focus on boosting educational outcomes and service delivery across Bauchi State.

Alhaji Adamu Mohammed Duguri instructed all affected personnel to report to their respective Local Government Education Authorities (LGEAs) headquarters for assessment and proper documentation.

Lagos to Launch N500 Billion Produce For Lagos Programme

The Lagos State Government has announced the launch of the Produce for Lagos Offtake Guarantee Fund & Programme, a bold move to reshape Nigeria’s agricultural and food supply chain.

In partnership with private sector players through the Lagos Food Systems Infrastructure Company, the programme is set to launch officially on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.

Commenting on the initiative, Emmanuel Audu, Permanent Secretary Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems, described it as “a visionary step toward building a resilient and inclusive food system.” The programme aims to empower smallholder farmers, cut food waste, improve food access, and drive agricultural growth throughout Nigeria.

The Produce for Lagos programme introduces a guaranteed offtake system with a N500 billion fund. This fund is intended to support farmers and agri-processors by ensuring that whatever is produced gets bought and distributed efficiently.

“Our focus is to guarantee offtake, catalyze large-scale production, and streamline logistics, storage, and market access,” said one of the programme coordinators. “We want to make sure that fresh, healthy, and affordable food reaches every household.”

The programme features EKOLOG, a dedicated food logistics component designed to preserve the quality of farm produce during transit.

EKOLOG aims to cut post-harvest losses, reduce spoilage, and extend shelf life by using temperature-controlled trucks and a coordinated delivery system.

Other features of the programme include bulk aggregation, organized market access, and a drive to create jobs while strengthening food security.

“This is a call to action,” the organizers noted. “From farmers and aggregators to distributors and financiers, everyone has a role to play in building a food-sovereign Nigeria.”

The Produce for Lagos programme highlights the state’s commitment to food innovation, high-yield agribusiness, and inclusive economic growth in the agricultural value chain.

Makurdi To Host Northern Nigeria’s Largest Wrapper Printing Facility

Friday, 18th July 2025 – The Executive Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has launched a major move to expand industrial development in the region.

He has secured a partnership with a top Chinese textile company for the importation and installation of modern wrapper printing equipment at the Benue Printing & Publishing Corporation (BPPC), Makurdi.

This project is part of the governor’s continued efforts to revive struggling industries, provide employment opportunities for Benue’s youth, and improve the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). Last year, he officially commissioned BPPC, making it the biggest and only state-owned printing press in Northern Nigeria.

Since its revival, the Managing Director of BPPC, Mr. Joel Mtsor (SHIMATEX), has remained committed to upgrading the facility.

Today, Mr. Shimatex is in China on a detailed inspection tour of the largest textile company in the country. He is also holding key meetings with Chinese partners to begin work on this massive wrapper printing project.

Currently, Northern Nigeria has just one wrapper printing facility located in Kano. The upcoming Makurdi facility will be the largest, with the potential to transform Benue into a hub for textile production.

“This development will greatly boost our revenue and provide jobs for our teeming youth,” said Mr. Shimatex.

Governor Alia has once again demonstrated strong economic leadership by driving investment in local manufacturing and job creation.

As part of the new arrangement, payments to retirees under the first phase will begin from July 2, 2025, and continue through July 2030. The second phase, which covers July 2030 to July 2035, is expected to commence next year.

Governor Abiodun also confirmed that the state will discontinue the gratuity scheme from July 2, 2025. “We are reverting all consolidated salaries to the CPS. To guarantee prompt benefits, we shall equip PENCOM accordingly and back this plan with appropriate legislation,” he explained.
