Benue SUBEB automates payroll

The Benue State Universal Basic Education Board says it has automated its payroll system “to ensure the accuracy of data on payroll,” adding that its staff data digital verification would “ascertain the number of staff under the board which will pave the way for employment.”

According to a statement by the Benue SUBEB Information Officer,  Akese Emmanuella, the payroll automation is one of the interventions of the new SUBEB Chairman, Dr. Grace Adagba. who is 100 days old in office.

The statement said the new SUBEB leadership also renovated four blocks at the board headquarters “to enable a conducive working atmosphere for board members and staff, among others.”

The board hailed the “all-inclusive” leadership style of the chairman, saying Adagba had swiftly navigated the educational landscape of Benue with a blend of visionary strategies and hands-on initiatives aimed at revitalising the education sector.

The statement also quoted Adagba as saying, “Our journey has only just begun, but together, we will continue to strive for excellence and build a better future for the next generation.”
