Oyo State Government is set to recruit 7,000 teachers for public primary schools across the state.
The state government also revealed plans to recruit 100 caregivers for special schools across the state.
This was disclosed by the executive chairman of Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Nureni Adeniran, during a press conference held at the Board Room on Friday.
He added that for the 7,000 fresh teachers to be engaged by the government, at least 75 per cent deficit of the gap will be plugged.
Adeniran said, “For so many months or years back, there has been a clamour for recruitment of teachers into public primary school, and as an agency, under whose purview we have these primary schools, a lot of requests, a lot of questions have been asked of us, and we have been saying, we are going to do it.
“Ahead of the last general election, a lot of questions were asked about this recruitment, and His Excellency, the governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde did promise that we are indeed going to recruit.
