The Oyo State government announced the launch of a portal for recruiting 7,000 teachers for public primary schools on Tuesday.
Dr. Nureni Adeniran, Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, informed newsmen that the job portal would be operational from 6 pm on Tuesday. This recruitment drive is part of the state government’s efforts to reduce unemployment among its citizens.
Adeniran explained that the portal would require candidates to register with their email, phone number, and National Identification Number, among other details. The goal is to match applicants with suitable positions as teachers or caregivers.
“The Oyo State government aims to expand job opportunities in the basic education sector and for those interested in working as caregivers,” Adeniran stated. “Education is a major pillar of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration. We are committed to utilizing the valuable potential within the state, which is why we are employing new primary school teachers.”
He added that applicants facing challenges during the online application process could seek assistance through the support services provided on the website, including a phone number and email for free support.
