Ondo State Government Approves Employment of 1,100 Primary School Teachers: NUT Boss Hails Governor Aiyedatiwa
In a significant move to enhance the quality of education in Ondo State, Governor Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has given his approval for the employment of 1,100 new teachers to fill critical vacancies in Public Primary Schools across the state. This initiative, aimed at addressing the shortage of teachers and improving the standard of education, is seen as a vital step in the government’s continued commitment to the educational sector.
The employment of these teachers comes after a rigorous and thorough recruitment process carried out by the Ondo State Universal Basic Education Board (ODSUBEB). The approval marks an important milestone in the state’s educational reform, as the newly hired teachers are expected to contribute positively to the development of the state’s education system, particularly at the primary level, where foundational skills are instilled in young minds.
Governor Aiyedatiwa’s action reflects his unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child in Ondo State has access to quality education. By filling the vacancies in the primary schools, the Governor has not only strengthened the educational framework but also provided job opportunities for many qualified individuals, thus contributing to the overall socio-economic development of the state.
In his reaction to this development, the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Ondo State Council, Comrade Ayodele Samuel Leke, expressed his heartfelt congratulations to the newly appointed teachers. Leke lauded the Governor for his foresight and commitment to the teaching profession, noting that the decision to employ such a large number of teachers was an extraordinary step toward revitalizing the education sector.
Comrade Leke also took the opportunity to appreciate Governor Aiyedatiwa for demonstrating exceptional leadership in prioritizing education and teachers’ welfare in the state. According to him, the Governor’s actions are a testament to the love he has for the teaching profession, as well as his understanding of the critical role that quality education plays in shaping the future of the state and its citizens.
The employment of these teachers is expected to significantly reduce the teacher-to-student ratio in Ondo State’s public primary schools, a challenge that has long plagued the sector. The influx of new educators will provide much-needed support to existing staff and ensure that pupils receive the attention and instruction they deserve, enhancing the overall learning experience.
In addition to the educational benefits, this move will also have a profound impact on the state’s economy. With the creation of 1,100 new teaching positions, the state has not only improved its educational infrastructure but has also empowered local communities by providing steady employment opportunities. As the state moves forward, Governor Aiyedatiwa’s commitment to advancing education remains at the heart of his administration’s agenda, promising brighter prospects for both teachers and students alike.
Comrade Leke also took time to appreciate the SUBEB Chairman, Rt. Hon. Victor Olabintan for the job well done and for his time to time support for the teachers in Ondo State.
