    By Admin 

    The Cross River State Government has officially released the 2025/2026 Primary School Placement Examination results, with an impressive 95.9 percent of candidates successfully meeting the pass mark.

    The Commissioner for Education, Senator Professor Stephen Odey, approved the release after receiving the results from the Director of Examinations and Certificates, Mr. Amaku Asuquo. He praised the Director of the Examination Records Centre (ERC), Dr. Moses Agbereyo, and the examination team for ensuring the timely processing and release of the results.

    Speaking on behalf of Governor Senator (Prince) Bassey Edet Otu, Professor Odey reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to delivering public examination results within two weeks of the completion of examinations, describing the milestone as part of the government’s drive for efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the education sector.

    According to the Commissioner, 95.90 percent of candidates passed the examination, while 4.10 percent did not attain the required pass mark. He said the strong performance reflects the steady improvement in the quality of basic education across Cross River State.

    Professor Odey attributed the successful conduct of the examination to the prompt release of funds by Governor Bassey Otu, expressing appreciation for the Governor’s continued investment and support for educational development in the state.

    He also announced that candidates can now check their results online through the Ministry of Education’s examination portal, eliminating the need to visit the Ministry or Local Government Education Authorities to obtain their results.

    The Commissioner urged the examination team to sustain the pace by ensuring the prompt release of the Junior Secondary School Certificate Examination (JSSCE) and SS2 Mock Examination results. He reiterated the Ministry’s commitment to improved service delivery in line with the Governor’s People First agenda.

  • Cross River Govt Denies Plans to Relocate UNICROSS Okuku Campus

    Cross River Govt Denies Plans to Relocate UNICROSS Okuku Campus

    By Elijah Ugani 

    The Cross River State Government has dismissed as false and politically motivated reports alleging plans to relocate the Okuku Campus of the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) to Akamkpa.

    In a press statement issued on Monday, the Commissioner for Education, Senator Professor Stephen Odey Adi Odey, described the rumour as “unfounded, mischievous and politically motivated,” saying it was intended to create unnecessary tension and mislead the public.

    According to the Commissioner, the rumour has generated anxiety among students, parents, members of staff, and residents of Yala and surrounding communities, prompting numerous inquiries seeking clarification.

    “There is no iota of truth in this rumour. It is a complete fabrication, conceived by political detractors to create confusion, sow discord, and distract the government from its commitment to educational development,” the statement said.
    Rather than considering the relocation of the campus, the Commissioner noted that the administration of Governor Bassey Edet Otu has continued to invest in the development of the institution.

    He disclosed that the Governor, working through the Vice Chancellor of UNICROSS, Professor Francisca Bassey, recently approved the renovation of facilities at the Okuku Campus as part of efforts to improve infrastructure and strengthen academic activities.

    He stressed that the Okuku Campus remains an integral part of the University and reiterated the government’s commitment to its continued growth and development.

    The Commissioner urged members of the public, particularly residents of Yala and other stakeholders, to disregard the rumour, assuring them that there are no plans by the state government to relocate the campus from its present location.
