Kwara SUBEB to employ 1,611 teachers, others for basic schools




Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (KwSUBEB) has revealed plans to hire 1,611 teaching and non-teaching staff from the state’s 16 local government areas.

Aminat Atere, KwSUBEB’s Press Secretary, quoted board Chairman Prof. Shehu Adaramaja as saying in an Ilorin statement that the recruitment had already been approved.

“A total of 695 Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degree holders, 605 National Certificate of Education (NCE) holders, 200 security guards, and 111 other categories of non-teaching staff were approved for engagement into the service,” he said.

Adaramaja noted that the procedure would be carried out following the recent needs assessment conducted across the education bodies in the 16 LGAs.

”Preparing for the recruitment follows the approval by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for us to fill the vacancies created due to retirements, deaths or transfer of service to other states.

”On the procedure for the recruitment, a community-based job recruitment approach will be adopted without compromising competence and qualifications.

”Recruitment is going to take place at the local government level or at the nearest communities/villages where their services are greatly needed,” he said.

The KwSUBEB Board Chairman further stated that successful candidates will sign a non-movement or transfer agreement from their new workplace for the first five years.
