Asaba: In a bid to enhance effective time management and accurate record keeping for the Primary Education Sector and the Local Government, the Delta State Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) and the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) have announced the commencement of the implementation of the Electronic Attendance Register for Staff of Local Government Councils and Local Government Education Authorities across the State.
In a statement jointly signed by the Delta State Chairman of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON), Sir Constantine Ikpokpo and the Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Honourable Sunny Ogwu, said that the initiative was aimed at enhancing effective, accurate and timely record keeping for the Primary Education Sector and the Local Government Councils.
The statement further clarified that the introduction of the electronic clock-in system, which they say was in line with world best practice, was in continuation of the ongoing staff verification exercise in Local Government Councils and Local Government Education Authorities across the state.
The statement added that the exercise was not under any guise or in any form intended to witch hunt or victimize Primary School Teachers and Local Government Staff but that affected persons were expected in this new system, to clock in with their fingerprints upon resumption in the morning, after the long break and to clock out at the close of work.
The statement further enjoined all Staff and all stakeholders to abide by the directive and work closely with the relevant authorities towards the successful implementation of the new system, with the utmost assurance of the sincerity and commitment of Government.
