Biodun Oyebanji, the governor of Ekiti State, has given his approval for the hiring of teachers to fill openings in public elementary schools.
The approval, according to a statement from Prof. Femi Akinwumi’s office, will help to further strengthen teaching and learning in the basic education sector. Prof. Akinwumi is the executive chairman of the Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
According to the statement, the government was establishing the specifics for the start of the hiring process and emphasized that the proper laid-out procedure, including advertising on the state website and other respectable media, will be done for the hiring.
It, however, warned the public, particularly prospective applicants, to be wary of internet fraudsters parading their websites and blogs as recruitment platforms for the board’s 2022 and 2023 recruitment.
“Ekiti SUBEB will soon recruit suitably qualified teachers for our public primary schools. Procedures for the recruitment are already
being put in place. As soon as this is completed, we will formally inform the public through the Ekiti State Website:www.ekitistate.gov.ng and through reputable media outlets.
“Applicants should, however, beware of internet recruitment fraudsters, who may try to paint their websites and blogs as recruitment platforms for the board’s recruitment. Application forms for the exercise will never be downloaded on the social media,” the statement said.
Ekiti SUBEB in 2021 recruited 600 primary school teachers.
