Yobe recruits 948 primary school teachers
Yobe State Government has recruited 948 primary school teachers as part of efforts to fill manpower gap in basic education.
This is contained in a statement by Governor Mai Mala Buni’s Director-General Press and Media Affairs, Mamman Mohammed, in Damaturu on Sunday.
He said that the recruitment was revealed by the Executive Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Umaru Babayo, after he met with Mr Buni on Sunday.
Mr Mohammed said that most of the recruits were volunteer teachers working in various schools across the state without formal engagement by the state government.
The statement quoted Mr Babayo as saying, “the board is organising workshops for the new recruits to acquire additional skills on teaching for effective and efficient dissemination of knowledge to the pupils”.
He said the chairman charged the new teachers to be dedicated to their duties to justify the confidence reposed in them by government.
He stated, “The chairman assured that the board would intensify inspection to ensure productivity and for the government to have value for its money.”
The aide said that Mr Buni charged the board to ensure that only those qualified for the job were given the opportunity to serve.
“The board should ensure training of the new teachers to have the best out of them. Government would continue to support the board to promote efficiency and productivity for the state to achieve its set goals of taking education to greater heights,” Mr Buni stated.
