The Oyo State Government has announced plans to recruit 7,000 teachers into public primary schools and 100 caregivers into special needs schools.
This was disclosed by the Executive Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, during a press briefing in Ibadan.
According to Adeniran, the recruitment is in fulfillment of Governor Seyi Makinde’s electoral promise to address the shortage of teachers in public primary schools.
He warned intending applicants to be wary of scammers and fraudulent individuals, as the Board has not appointed any agents to facilitate the recruitment process.
“The stages to follow to have a free, fair, credible exercise will emanate from this Board, signed by me”, Adeniran said.
He advised applicants not to hesitate to come to the Board to make enquiries and not rely on third-party information.
“No Staff member has been empowered to collect money from applicants”, he reiterated.
“We thank His Excellency for living up to his words. He fulfilled his promise and may God give him divine wisdom to navigate the affairs of the State.”
Adeniran emphasized that the recruitment will be based on merit and will follow a transparent and credible process.
He advised applicants to contact the Board directly for information and not to rely on third-party sources.
The Board has commenced preliminary work on the recruitment process and will announce the application process in due course.
Adeniran expressed gratitude to Governor Makinde for fulfilling his promise and commended his commitment to education in the state.
