The Ebonyi College of Education in a bid to promote academic discipline and excellence on Tuesday sacked 15 lecturers for allegedly possessing forged certificates to get into office.
The Public Relations Officer, Mr Bertrand Nkwuda,made this known in a news conference in Ikwo, Ebonyi State.
According to Nkwuda, the school management took the decision after thorough investigation since 2013 by an inaugurated unit.
``This matter was reported in 2013, and the management followed it up by constituting a panel to look into it.
``Because certificate forgery is a very serious crime, thorough investigation was carried out to ascertain the veracity of the allegation.
``After a long and painstaking investigation, the suspects were unable to prove their innocence beyond all reasonable doubt, hence the decision to dismiss them,’’ Nkwuda said.
He expressed that while awaiting the result of the investigation, the lecturers involved took the post of clerical staffs.
The spokesperson expressed the commitment of the institution to the promotion of academic discipline and excellence.
