The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Nsa Gill, on Monday, cited the absence of a constituted board as reason for the suspension.
The statement reads,
“His Excellency, the Governor of Cross River State, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, has instructed the immediate suspension of the scheduled interviews for teaching positions at the Secondary Education Board, announced by the Director of Administration of the Board.

“The due constitution of the State Secondary Education Board is receiving Government attention. The action of the Director of Administration scheduling ” employment interviews is unauthorized as it is inappropriate for one individual to assume the responsibilities of the entire Board.
“Therefore, the interviews are hereby postponed, and the Director of Administration is directed to promptly meet with the Secretary to the State Government.”
