The decision, which takes effect from March 1, 2026, was announced in an official statement signed by the Executive Chairman of Delta SUBEB, Hon. Chief Samuel Mariere.
According to Mariere, the Board reviewed appeals from key stakeholders across the state before arriving at the decision to reinstate Mrs. Oputa-Otutu.
“The three-month suspension slammed on the Education Secretary for Oshimili South LGEA, Mrs. Appolonia Allanah Oputa-Otutu, has been lifted with effect from March 1, 2026,” the statement read.
