The ASUBEB Executive Chairman, Dr. Vera Nwadinobi gave the advice on Monday, during the opening ceremony of a 2-Day Workshop on work ethics for education administrators in the board.
The workshop with the theme, ‘Administrative Excellence and Ethical Compliance in the Delivery of Basic Education Services’, was aimed at fostering professionalism, ethical conduct and administrative integrity within the basic schools system.
