The Cross River State government has
indefinitely suspended the Permanent
Secretary of the state Ministry of Education
Anne Odey, who last week released a
statement suspending all forms of morning
devotion in schools across the country.
The State Security Adviser (SSA) to Governor
Ben Ayade, Jude Ngaji who made this known
to newsmen yesterday in Calabar, explained
that indeed the state police commissioner,
Henry Fadairo, had contacted the state ministry
of Education about a possible attack by Boko
haram members during early morning and
afternoon devotions in various schools.
Ngaji said the permanent secretary unilaterally
took the decision of suspending the age long
practice of morning devotions in the state,
without consulting the state governor.
"The governor has directed that the
permanent secretary be suspended
indefinitely while the ban on suspension
of devotion has been lifted immediately. It
is true that police got intelligence
information that Boko 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.
So, the governor feels pained that the
permanent secretary got such sensitive
information without seeking for his advice
and went ahead to issue directive
suspending morning devotions in
schools," he said.
He added that the governor is a strong
believer in God and will not do anything that
will prevent people from worshiping God.

Is it going to be nationwide? Can we still do "morning devotion" in our homes or has Bubu finally got his wish?

A welcome development. The earlier directive was simply anti-people.
