Makinde approves recruitment of 7,000 primary school teachers in Oyo

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has approved the recruitment of 7,000 teachers into public primary schools in the state.
The government also approved the recruitment of 100 caregivers in special schools across the state.
Nureni Adeniran, the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) chairman, disclosed this in Ibadan on Friday at a news conference.
Mr Adeniran said this was in fulfilment of Mr Makinde’s electioneering promise and fulfilment of the yearnings of the people of the state.
He explained that the recruitment process would commence soon, urging intending applicants to be wary of scammers who defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
Mr Adeniran said information regarding the recruitment exercise would only emanate from the board, adding that no authorisation had been given to a third party to act on behalf of the government or the board.
The SUBEB boss said the intending applicants would not pay any amount to anybody on account of the recruitment.
“This press conference is the first stage of the recruitment process; the next stage will be made known as well as the requirements.
“The board will comply with the directive of the governor that the exercise will be conducted based on merit,” Mr Adeniran said.
He, however, urged intending applicants to apply based on their local government areas, adding that teachers would be posted to teach there.
According to him, it will solve the problem of having to transfer teachers later and ensure that every local government is adequately catered for.
He said the recruitment would address about 70 per cent of the manpower shortage.
He added that the exercise would be inclusive, with special consideration for persons with disabilities.
