The Oyo State government has commenced the recruitment of public primary school teachers, as it targets a total of 7000 applications.
This was revealed by the Chairman of Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr Nureni Adeniran, on Tuesday while briefing newsmen at the Board’s headquarters in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
According to Dr Adeniran, the opening of the portal for the recruitment exercise was part of the state government’s bid to reduce unemployment among its citizenry.
He noted that the portal would register each candidate with his/her email, phone number, and National Identification Number, among other requirements, to provide suitable jobs, either as teachers or caregivers.
“The government of Oyo State wants to expand the job space in the basic education sub-sector and those who are interested in working as caregivers.
“Education is a major pillar of Governor Seyi Makinde ‘s administration. We are going to have an inclusive government that will utilise valuable potentials that abound in the state, and that’s why we are employing new primary school teachers.
“Applicants can channel their complaints, or challenges encountered in the process of the online application through the support service to the phone number and email provided on the website for free support services,” he said.
