Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has given the green light for the recruitment of 7,000 teachers to bolster public primary schools in the state. Additionally, the government has sanctioned the hiring of 100 caregivers for special schools across Oyo State.
Nureni Adeniran, the Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), made this announcement during a press conference in Ibadan on Friday. Adeniran emphasized that this move is in line with Governor Makinde's campaign promise and addresses the desires of the state's populace.
He assured that the recruitment process will commence promptly and cautioned prospective applicants to beware of fraudulent individuals attempting to exploit them. Adeniran emphasized that all information regarding the recruitment will originate from the board directly, and no third party has been authorized to act on behalf of the government or the board.
Furthermore, he affirmed that no fees will be solicited from applicants during the recruitment process. Adeniran indicated that the recruitment will be conducted based on merit, as directed by the governor.
He encouraged applicants to apply based on their respective local government areas, ensuring that teachers will be posted to teach within their communities. This approach aims to mitigate the need for future teacher transfers and ensure equitable distribution across all local governments.
Adeniran highlighted that the recruitment drive will alleviate approximately 70% of the existing manpower shortage in public primary schools. Additionally, he underscored the inclusive nature of the exercise, with special consideration given to persons with disabilities.
The recruitment process is poised to contribute significantly to enhancing the educational landscape in Oyo State and ensuring quality education delivery in public primary schools.
