Fresh accusations have been levelled against the management of the College of Education, Zing, Taraba State, by academic and non-academic staff, alleging irregularities in the staff promotion process.

One employee lamented, “After fulfilling the college’s conditions of service, many of us were denied promotion, while far junior colleagues were elevated. This is injustice.” Sources revealed that some staff members have not received any promotion since January 2017, while others appear to have advanced swiftly, allegedly due to favouritism and backing from influential figures within the institution.

The controversy has also extended to the college’s governing council, with staff accusing the chairman of a conflict of interest in the recent appointment of a deputy bursar. “Those who should face disciplinary action are being rewarded, while committed and qualified staff like Atta are marginalised,” one source alleged.

The aggrieved staff have called on the college’s governing council to urgently review the promotion procedures and rectify the alleged injustices. They also appealed to Taraba State Governor Dr Agbu Kefas and the Head of Service Dr Ahmed Kara to intervene and restore transparency and fairness in the institution.

In response, the Provost, Professor Ejika Sambo, defended the administration’s record, stating that his tenure has seen two successful rounds of staff promotions, with promotions granted to all those who met the necessary criteria. “Some staff had issues that hindered their promotion, but those who met the requirements were promoted,” he said. However, the discontent continues to simmer within the college community, with staff members insisting they will not relent in their demand for justice
