EKSG distributes letters to 1,300 newly recruited primary school teachers
… As Oyebanji says practical agricultural, entrepreneurship skills ‘ll be introduced in schools

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji on Thursday flagged off distribution of letters of appointment to 1,300 newly recruited primary school teachers in the state, with a charge to them to be innovative and embrace modern techniques and approach in imparting knowledge.

The letter distribution exercise which took place at the Osuntokun Pavilion, Government House grounds, Ado-Ekiti, was turned into a carnival by the jubilant teachers, who sang and danced as the Governor arrived the venue of the event.

Governor Oyebanji who restated his administration’s zero tolerance for examination malpractices, urged the newly recruited teachers to display patriotic commitment, high level of integrity and professional diligence to your duties.

“As a teacher for this millennium, you are to be creative, loving, connected, approachable, adaptive, talented and progressive. Improvisation, problem-solving skills, innovation and real-life interactions are more effective than tired lesson-note and repetitive but ineffective regurgitations. I therefore urge you to be the teacher for this age and the game-changing teacher for the future.

“I expect you to adopt this in your pedagogical delivery and to continue to scout for platforms that provide online training on teaching techniques and modern approach to learning. You will be expected to be part of our dream-team for the revolutionalization of the school environment to be a place of fun and learning and not a dreaded house of horror.”, the Governor said.

Governor Oyebanji, who noted that over 11,000 applicants applied for the job from which 1,300 were picked based on performances at the examination and interviews conducted, revealed that government had concluded plans to introduce practical agriculture and entrepreneurial skills as part of school curricular in the state, adding that each of the 40 benefitting ‘Agriculture in Schools Programme’ would receive direct grants ranging from N545, 786.094 to N874,459.25 for the take-off.

“Today's event is yet another testimony in our quest to reposition basic education in our State in line with our campaign promises to our people, especially in the rural areas, many of which, have shortage of teachers as a result of retirements and other issues.

“I am therefore, glad to be here to present letter of appointment to some of the first batch of the successful applicants. The first batch of 800 newly recruited teachers out of 1,300 who were successful after the rigorous recruitment processes are here for this symbolic ceremony.

Governor Oyebanji disclosed that his government has paid N1.2Billion as matching grants for the SUBEB/UBEC intervention funds to enable public primary and junior secondary schools in the State to continue to enjoy unhindered and the necessary government assistance in the areas of infrastructure and training of teachers.

“With this development, Ekiti State would thus become one of the first States in Nigeria to access the 2022 UBEC /SUBEB Intervention funds to continue to witness the back to back Government intervention.

While congratulating the teachers, the Governor advised them to demonstrate highest level of professional ethics in which they must not fail in their professional code of conduct as a teacher and must never join in examination misconduct of any form.

He added, “As a State, we are declaring an unequivocal war on examination malpractice at all levels and we are not interested in “assisted” colourful examination results that are product of frauds. We want to maintain our tradition as a disciplined, learned and honourable people. This is our pride which we will keep by all means.

Earlier, the Chairman of SUBEB, Prof. Femi Akinwumi, who commended Governor Oyebanji for approving the appointment to fill vacant position in the education industry, stated that his intervention in the sector has placed Ekiti in the forefront of states that have continued to make remarkable improvement in standard of education.

Prof. Akinwumi called on the newly appointed teachers to reciprocate government gestures by being diligent in their duties and contribute their quota to the growth and development of basic education in the state.

1300 Teachers dat wl be paid average of 35k per mnth na him dis ones dey carry for head
Congratulations to dem better dan Yaya Bello who spend 8years without recruiting even cleaner
Shame state governmnt who cant do little thing in der state.
I also hate useles publicity

How much are they paid

It's a good development

Ekiti governors are always very hands-on. Stuffs like these are handled by commissioner for education or some other senior member of the education ministry.

Private schools pay most of them 15k per month. So, it's an improvement financially, and the job is more secure.

Make them pay be the koko.
They owe them salary tire.

This is a welcome development. At lest paying the 60k per month is ok.

I commented the governor for this initiative and salary.

When Peter obi was governor he sacked many teachers, owes 23 months salary, pays a teacher 12k a month salary.

Peter obi is a wicked man and will never go unpunished

Ekiti is still a state?

Which one is political party teachers again...Are they not Nigerians?

Nigeria will be Great in our lifetime whether the evil ones like ot or not.

God bless Ekiti State.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬.

Congratulations to ekiti people

The criminal called Wike is making life frustrating in Rivers State
Online portal for registration won't open
Reaching for aptitude test he will still block the portal. Why is he frustrating people when he knows he had already anointed candidate for the jobs,

Good way to go

Congratulations to them all

Good news.
When was the last time that they recruited primary school teachers? Is it not supposed to be an annual exercise

What is the percentage of children who are in government primary schools? And how did the percentage change from before progressive Fayemi to after his tenure
