‘We have manpower shortage in our schools. This week, the government commenced the employment of 2,000 teachers. This is in addition to the 1,000 OgunTeach interns who were given permanent employment recently.
We really appreciate this good gesture from the governor, and we hope that other outstanding issues that will further aid the teacher’s wellbeing will be addressed as the governor has promised’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
