Osun Govt Moves to Conduct Teachers’ Recruitment Exercise

By Funmi Ojo

The Osun State Executive Council has directed the Ministry of Education to conduct interviews for applicants within the cut-off range adopted after the recruitment test to conclude the teachers’ recruitment exercise.

The Council presided over by Governor Ademola Adeleke gave the directive after receiving updated reports from the Commissioner for Education, Mr. Adedipo Eluwole, who briefed the council on the activities leading to the final stage of the exercise.

The Council, while emphasizing the need for a meritorious outcome further directed the Ministry of Education to issue a detailed official notice on the interview exercise, listing the dates and venue of the interview exercise.

The Council noted that the delay in the conclusion of the exercise was due in part to the protracted negotiations on the new minimum wage which has now been concluded and for which the state government has set up an implementation committee for commencement.

The Council further acknowledged the issuance of letters to teachers on the elongated service programme for which about two thousand beneficiaries have been issued letters of engagement, describing this as part of concerted efforts to bridge the staff shortage within the state school system.
