TRIBUNAL JUDGMENT IS VICTORY FOR BENUE – ORTOM

Our attention has been drawn to reports in several newspapers and other media platforms alleging that the Benue State Government has disobeyed a court order on the retrenchment of non-indigenous teachers between 2005 and 2006.
It is obvious that the report, especially some of its headlines, has been retrieved from the archives and deliberately embellished to appear fresh in order to cast the present administration in bad light.
For the benefit of the general public let it be known that the Benue State Government currently led by Governor Samuel Ortom has neither retrenched any teacher nor disobeyed any court order on such a matter since assumption of office.
