The executive chairman Bayelsa State Post-Primary Schools Board, High Chief Millionaire Asangba, has assured that staff of the board would be fully integrated into the Bayelsa State Automated Payroll System, popularly called ORACLE, by the end of May, 2021.
High Chief Asangba disclosed this when executive members of the Academic Staff Union
of Secondary Schools (ASUSS) paid him and other board members a courtesy visit at the board’s headquarters at the Education House Annex, Yenagoa.
The board’s helmsman, charged teachers to sustain professionalism and ensure that students get the best of their teachings in order to ensure that the objectives of quality education, as envisaged by the governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, for students in public secondary schools is achieved.
While eulogizing the academic potentials and quality of the present board members manning sensitive positions in the secondary schools board, Chief Asangba tasked teachers to up their game in acquiring higher certificates in cognate fields as students get better education when teachers upgrade their knowledge in their chosen discipline.
He stressed that he operates an open door policy where issues of teachers and their welfare are top priority for the board, as he called on them to share their challenges with him and the board members at any time.
Earlier, in his remarks, state chairman of ASUSS, Comrade Pedro Igbudu, appreciated Governor Diri on the re-appointment and elevation of High Chief Asangba as executive chairman of PPSB, together with his board members, including the only female member of the board, Hon. Egbe Fiyesinkumo Gibson, who was a teacher and an ASUSS member until her appointment into the board.
Comrade Igbudu, pledged ASUSS’s support and cooperation with the board members in the bid to ensure a harmonious working relationship that “would be rancour free as there would not be any need for agitations,” adding that the executive chairman, as a former board member and retired teacher, is well acquainted with the challenges faced by secondary teachers in the state due to his years of cognate exposure in the board.
He cited the good news as pronounced by Asangba that PPSB staff would be on the automated salary payroll (also known as ORACLE) by end of May, 2021.
He noted that this is only a pointer that the executive chairman, High Chief Millionaire Asangba, and his other board members, have already hit the ground running in ensuring that teachers’ welfare remains top priority.
The visit was attended by all ASSUSS executive members as well as PPSB members, such as Chief Saviour Frank Ibegi (Planning, Research and Statistics), Daupere Deo Kalsuo (Human Resources Management), Engr David Idibiye (Projects), Tanwei Stanley Bazigha (Supervision), Hon. Egbe Fiyesinkumo Gibson (Public Affairs, Welfare) and the permanent secretary, Mr. Hitler Dickson.
