About 800 public school teachers in Ogun State used fake certificates to secure their employment, the Commissioner for Education and Technology, Segun Odubela, said in Abeokuta, the state capital, on Thursday.

Mr. Odubela said the state carried out an audit of all its teachers during which they were asked to come along with their certificates.

“An alarming number of teachers have been discovered not only to possess fake certificates but also engaged in various irregularities with which they were offered jobs in the public schools throughout the 20 Local Government Areas of the state,” Mr. Odubela emphasised.

Apart of the 800 that may have used fake certificates, another 223 teachers did not show up for the screening, the commissioner said. He said the fate of the affected teachers will be determined by the government on Monday.
