The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education released a statement for suspension of prayers in public and private schools of the State because of boko haram attack. The Cross River State has responded by placing the Permanent Secretary on an indefinite suspension.
According to Nigerian Bulletin, the governor has through his Security Adviser, Jude Ngaji directed that the permanent secretary be suspended indefinitely while the ban on suspension on morning devotion has been lifted immediately. "It is true that police got intelligence information that book haram is planning to bomb schools during morning devotions and therefore directed authorities in the Ministry of Education to act fast. But the permanent secretary did not bother to refer to the governor or call for stakeholders' meeting to that effect".
The governor feels pained that the permanent secretary got such sensitive information and went ahead to issue directives without seeking advice from the State government. He added that the governor believes in God and will not do anything that will prevent people from worshiping God.
