ABUJA — The Supervising Minister of Education, Mr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, yesterday, dismissed media report that he had resigned his appointment.

The ministry in a statement by Special Assistant (Media) to the Supervising Minister of Education, Simeon Nwakaudu, in Abuja, said:  “The report being circulated online to the effect that he has resigned is false in its entirety. It is a planted report by mischief makers.

”The Minister, last Saturday, represented the President at the 43rd Convocation of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and yesterday (Monday), the Minister was in the office to do his work in the Federal Ministry of Education.

”On Thursday, he will be performing the ground-breaking ceremony for the Special Vocational School in Delta State, and will next week hold a town hall meeting for federal universities, polytechnics and colleges of education in t Bauchi.”
