The development was announced in a statement signed by the Executive Chairman of Delta SUBEB, Hon. Chief Samuel Mariere, who said the Board reviewed appeals from prominent stakeholders across the state before arriving at the decision.
According to Mariere, the suspension was lifted after “thoughtful consideration of all appeals from important personalities from across the state.”
He stated that with the lifting of the suspension, Mrs. Oputa-Otutu is to resume her duties with immediate effect from the approved date.
“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.
