While i was in Warri in 2005, a friend working with a laboratory
supplies company had a contract to supply at a secondary school under
ETFintervention. It was the principal of the school who proposed instant
sale of all the government-supplied materials. He simply said we don't
need them.

Bottomline: Corruption in Nigeria is alarmingly overwhelming. However, if the head is sick, the body cannot get healing. Sanity should be restored from the top first. A night crawling dad cant dissuade his son from hanging out late.

A mother, who simply identified herself as Maureen, disclosed that she was given a list of books to buy for her children and paid N1,100 to acquire “Pupil Book 1 UBE Edition Learn Mathematics for Primary Schools.”

What's your justification? That west are more educated than east? Pls i need authentic proof

The Chief Stores Officer of the Niger state Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and three other civil servants in the state, have been arrested for diverting free instructional and learning materials, including textbooks meant for public schools in the state to Onitsha Market in Anambra state.

Blueprint learnt that the Chief store officer, who is an Assistant Director, two of his staff and another man working with the House of Assembly, were picked last week by the operatives of the Department of State Security Service (DSS) following a tip from a trader arrested in Onitsha with the UBEB textbooks coded for Niger state by the Universal Basic Education Commission in Abuja.

The trader reportedly disclosed that he got the supply of the books from the SUBEB staff in Minna before leading security operatives to pick up the suspects.

It was learnt that the man working with the House of Assembly acted as the contact person between the Onitsha Market trader and the SUBEB staff in the channel of distribution of the free textbooks.

Chairman of SUBEB, Alhaji Uba Hassan Kuta, confirmed to Blueprint that the affected staff were under interrogation by security agents.

He said the state Head of Service (HOS), Alhaji Ibrahim Matane, had also directed administrative probe into the matter in accordance with the civil service rules of the state.

He explained that the diversion of the free textbooks to the market was not peculiar to Niger state as many other states had complained that such books were being sold in local markets.

I expected this from egocentric individual like you....In the word of Uthman Dan Fodio 'Conscience is an open wound only the truth can heal it' My brother (if truly you are an Igbo son) the Westerners value education more than Easterners. Charity they say begin at home. I was amazed when an elderly man had to give up his seat in a commercial vehicle for school children.....Its only in the West that a commercial bus can carry school children fare-free but in the East the reverse is the case.... Some of us (not all) lack integrity all spheres.

I rest my case

Freiburger:
Is that necessary?
@ Topic, they call it recycling.

anonimi: Good to note that Jonathan's administration is providing free textbooks through the UBE while the states and LGAs are literally sleeping on duty- collecting their allocations & sharing.

dabiko: .Btw 40% of students in both northern and western in tertiary institutions are from the east...

homesteady: I'm not surprised!! Even mosquito nets that government gave free of charge are been sold

Segeggs: well, that is to show you that schools in the east are rubbish compared to the well-renowned OAU, UNILAG, LASU, UI, LAUTECH, FUTA etc.

as for the 40%, thats a lie. Try reducing it to 30% then we can talk.
