Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State on Monday gave approval for the employment of 1,010 teachers for secondary schools in the State.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Ebenezer Adeniyan, announced this in a statement on Monday.
The statement noted that the approval came after the completion of the recruitment process by the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), which screened thousands of applicants last year.
He said Aiyedatiwa had expressed concern over the shortage of teaching staff in public schools, particularly in rural communities.
The CPS disclosed that the list of successful candidates would be made available online on Monday and also displayed at TESCOM headquarters and zonal offices across the State, from Tuesday.
“The successful candidates are to begin their documentation immediately.
“The final list for the secondary school candidates was approved by the governor on Friday, while that of the primary school candidates is undergoing its finishing touches,” Adeniyan said.
According to him, the recruitment of teachers in both primary and secondary schools was one of the efforts of the current administration in revamping the education sector in the State.
It would be recalled that Aiyedatiwa had given approval for the recruitment of 1000 secondary school and 1000 primary school teachers since 2024.
