This, he said, will assist in fasttracking legislative process as well as drafting and passage of the Executive Bill by the States Houses of Assembly, uniformity of all SSSEB Laws, and elimination of any contradicting provision that would exclude states from benefiting from the NSSEC fund.

“Establishment of the state Senior Secondary Education Boards will also give room for smooth implementation of NSSEC functions and mandate in all states,” the Executive Secretary added.

Continuing, he appealed to Akwa Ibom State government to provide a furnished office for use as the Commission’s provisional office, as well as land in Uyo for the Commission to erect its South-South zonal office.

Responding, the Deputy Governor, Senator, Dr. Akon Eyakenyi, expressed her State Government’s willingness to collaborating with the Commission. She further disclosed that land had already been earmarked for SSSEB in Uyo, and assured the Commission that Akwa Ibom State was adequately prepared to draft and pass the Executive Bill while the State House of Assembly was ready for its speedy passage.
