 Daily Trust reports that the erstwhile chairman of the commission was suspended because of underhand dealings in the process of recruiting the last 400 teachers.

 “I will not approve any list brought to me that has the names of brothers and sisters and relatives of VIPs. I want competent teachers irrespective of where they come from,” he said.
