Reacting to the development, the Executive Chairman of ODSUBEB, Rt. Hon. Victor Olabimtan, thanked the governor for approving the recruitment, stating that it would help bridge the gap created by retiring educators.
Olabimtan emphasized that the employment of more teachers would significantly improve the pupil-teacher ratio in public primary schools and enhance the quality of education, particularly in rural and hard-to-reach areas.
He also commended the Aiyedatiwa-led administration for its remarkable achievements in the education sector.
Similarly, in a statement, the Director of Information and Public Relations at ODSUBEB, Bolu Ajijo, described the governor’s approval as a strategic move to fill critical vacancies in public primary schools across the state.
Ajijo added that details on how successful applicants can check their names and begin the documentation process will be made public soon.
