Cross River State teachers must accept any school posting from today. The education board leader, Mr Eyo Offiong, told NUJ visitors about this change. Teachers who refuse to serve rural areas face new penalties. Media reports showed many staff paid bribes to stay away from remote schools. Some teachers stayed at one school for many years because they were paid.

Offiong promised his office would stop taking cash for special treatment. He also makes sure every teacher receives fair attention during job moves. The board wants all students across the state to have good teachers. Each school deserves proper staff, no matter where it sits. Headteachers must lead any school they receive in their assignment papers.

NUJ chairman Archbong Bassey praised Offiong's management of the education board. The union plans to continue reporting on school issues around the state. Offiong aims to improve the work environment for all teaching staff. He wants all papers processed fairly without extra payments. Teachers know they cannot avoid certain schools through special requests.
