Akeredolu approves promotion of 3,000 teachers

Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State on Tuesday approved the commencement of a promotion exercise for over 3,000 teachers in the state’s teaching service.

This was disclosed by the Head of Service, Pastor Adeniran Adeyemo, in Akure while flagging off the 2021 promotion exercise for the qualified teachers at the headquarters of the State Teaching Service Commission.

Adeyemo commended the governor for approving the exercise, which he said is a demonstration of his commitment to prioritising the welfare of workers.

The Head of Service charged the officers to cooperate with the management of the commission by attending the interview as scheduled and avoid falsifying their credentials, so that the exercise could run within the stipulated time.

Adeyemi explained that the early approval of the promotion exercise was to avoid the usual staggering of presentation of letters of promotion to officers in core civil service and those in the Teaching Service Commission.

He enjoined all workers in the government service to rededicate themselves to duty to reciprocate the kind gesture of the Akeredolu-led administration.
