Plans are underway by the Ogun state government to employ about 2,000 teachers to boost the learners-teacher ratio across schools with special emphasis on rural areas. 

The state Commissioner for Education, Professor Abayomi Arigbabu made this known while receiving a member of the House of Representatives representing Yewa North/Imeko Afon Federal Constituency, Prince Gboyega Isiaka who visited him, in commemoration of International Day of Education.

“This Ogun teachers’ employment for 2, 000 teachers,we specifically put it on advert,tha this employment is for rural areas,if you don’t want to go to rural areas, don’t bother to apply”

Professor Arigbabu said the government would not relent in providing a conducive environment for all-round learning in schools across the state. 

Earlier, the member of the Federal lawmaker, Prince Gboyega Isiaka had identified an inadequate number of teachers in many schools in his constituency as a major factor affecting students’ performance. 

Prince Isiaka appealed to the state government to recruit and post more teachers to the areas needed to improve the situation and reduce the workload on the available teachers.

He restated his readiness to complement the efforts of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration towards enhancing the state’s growth. 

“The basic demand was that first, we thank the Governor for the good things he had done in the area of education, we have a peculiar problem due to our location, and we demanded that it should be looked into differently, particularly in the area of teachers”

Prince Isiaka who explained that the visit was aimed at deliberating on the state of education in the Constituency with a view to proffering solutions to the identified challenges was accompanied by notable leaders in the area, including the Commissioner for Sports Development, Mr Wasiu Isiaka, Mr Razaq Oduntan, Mr Olusola Oke, Mr Job Akintan, Mr. Caleb Adegbite, and Mr. Tunde Aninkan.
