The Management of the Cross River State Teachers Continuous Training Institute (TCTI), Biase has congratulated Senator (Dr) Stephen Odey on his appointment as the State’s Commissioner for Education.
The Director-General of the TCTI, Professor Taoheed Adedoja described Senator Odey as a blessing to the education sector in the state, considering his vast knowledge “where expertise and professionalism come to play.”
Addressing newsmen in Calabar on Wednesday, the Director-General revealed that “in the last three months the institute has fine-tuned its training manual which has also been subjected to scrutiny by education stakeholders at the various meetings held in the three Senatorial Districts of the state to achieve what he referred to as “local content buy-in of the TCTI training model.”
Professor Adedoja said the education sector in the State is lucky to have a man of Odey’s calibre as Commissioner, noting that his invaluable wealth of experience and rich career path in the sector will certainly take education to an enviable height.
“The TCTI is lucky to have a man of Odey’s standing who will oversee the education Ministry in the state, realising his notable role while he was chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board.
“This shows clearly that His Excellency, Governor Bassey Otu believes in his capacity and as such found him worthy of leading the Education Ministry. This is an icing on the cake,” Adedoja noted.
The DG used the opportunity to disclose that the Institute has put various modalities in place for the smooth retraining of teachers in the State and nation to guarantee quality learning that will further equip the teachers to meet the 21st-century need for global learning, being the only teacher training institute in the country equipped for Digital Learning.
