On Tuesday, the Oyo State government opened a portal to hire 7,000 teachers for the state’s public primary schools.
The Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr Nureni Adeniran, told reporters that the employment portal would go live at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Adeniran stated that the recruitment was part of the state government’s efforts to minimise unemployment among its citizens.
According to Adeniran, the portal will register each candidate with his or her email, phone number, and National Identification Number, among other requirements, in order to match them with appropriate positions, such 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 potential that abounds 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,” Adeniran said,
