 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly. The upper chamber had reconvened from recess amid expectations that lawmakers would accelerate action on the proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police across the federation, a measure widely seen as a major step in the ongoing effort to reform Nigeria’s security architecture. However, proceedings were cut short after Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the death of Tongo, who represented the Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives.

 Edo SUBEB Chairman Suspends Teacher for Improper Scoring of Pupil


As schools resumed for the new term, the Executive Chairman of the Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Dr. Paddy Iyamu, conducted surprise visits to various schools to ensure that teachers were present at their duty posts.


During these visits, Iyamu took action against a primary school teacher, suspending them for professional misconduct.


While inspecting schools in Benin, Oredo Local Government, Iyamu expressed disappointment upon discovering that the teacher had scored a pupil's answer as correct, despite the pupil providing an incorrect response.


Upon reviewing the pupil's workbook, Iyamu confirmed that the teacher had mistakenly marked a wrong answer as right.


The Chairman visited schools such as Uwa Primary School, Adesuwa Primary School, and Akenzua Primary School, and expressed his dissatisfaction that a teacher with a National Certificate in Education (NCE) was unable to properly manage primary school pupils.


Iyamu emphasized the administration's commitment to improving education in the state: "We cannot compromise on our children's future by failing to ensure that competent hands are teaching them. While we strive to create a supportive environment for our teachers, we will not tolerate negligence or incompetence."


He also highlighted efforts to improve school infrastructure, noting that dilapidated schools were being rebuilt. In December, after inspecting a severely deteriorated school building, Governor Monday Okpebholo immediately ordered its demolition and reconstruction. The work is progressing rapidly to ensure pupils learn in a safe, modern environment.
