5,300 Oyo workers get offer letters

Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi has presented appointment letters to 5,300 teaching and non-teaching workers in the 33 local government areas.
At the ceremony in Ibadan yesterday, letters were distributed to the workers employed from the 11 local governments in Ibadanland.
The remaining letters are scheduled for distribution in Oyo, Ogbomoso, Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa at later dates.
Ajimobi said the recruitment was unprecedented in the state’s history.
He said the exercise was part of government’s efforts to improve the standard of education and provide jobs.
The governor added that over 31,000 teachers had been sent on various trainings and 24,000 have been promoted.
He said: “Let me congratulate our teachers. I can say it authoritatively that our teachers have never had it so good. They have continued to enjoy salary increase and their appointments have been gazetted.
“So many schools had been rehabilitated; six models schools are being built.”
Ajimobi hailed the cordial relationship between his administration and the teachers, saying that the civil service has not had any cause to go on strike since the inception of his administration.
The Chairmen of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and TESCOM, Busari Adebisi and Abu Gbadamosi, said the recruitment would contribute significantly to the development of education.
Two of the beneficiaries- Tirimisiyu Damilare and Akorede Balkit-said they would contribute their quota towards attaining the educational standard in the state.
