Teachers’ Recruitment: UBEC warns applicants against visiting illegal sites
The Universal Basic Education Commission has warned Nigerians against fake sites for the recruitment of teachers in the country.
The commission’s spokesman, David Apeh, said the recruitment sites making rounds in the media were fake.
Many Nigerians have been visiting the recruitment sites but eventually could not log on for applications.
The former minister of state for education, Yusuf Sununu, had said the federal government would recruit 3,500 teachers for its unity colleges.
Mr Sununu, who spoke at a two-day national stakeholders’ forum on senior secondary education in Nigeria, said the recruitment would improve the country’s quality of education.
Reacting to the inability to log onto the site(s), Mr Apeh said such recruitment sites did not emanate from the commission as there was no intention to recruit teachers for now.
“The president just appointed a new executive secretary for UBEC, and she recently assumed office. For now, the commission has not opened any portal for teacher recruitment in the country.
“We will surely communicate with the public when we want to recruit,” he said.
