Chairman of the board, Prof Shehu Raheem Adaramaja , noted that a total of 695 B.Ed degree holders, 605 NCE holders, 200 security guards, and 111 other categories of Non-teaching staff would be employed while adding that the exercise will be carried out based on the needs assessment recently conducted across the 16 LGEAs.
Press Secretary of the Board, Atere Abiola Ameenat, in a statement she issued in Ilorin and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com quoted Prof. Adaramaja as noting that the recruitment exercise was sequel to the approval given by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to fill the vacancies created due to retirements, deaths, or transfer of service to other states.
On the procedure for the recruitment, the statement emphasized that a community-based job recruitment approach will be adopted without compromising competence and qualifications.
‘Recruitment is going to take place at the local government level or at the nearest communities/villages where their services are greatly needed.
Successful candidates will sign a bond of non-movement or transfer from their new place of work for the first 5 years — a condition that is based on the experience of teachers not staying in the hinterlands’ the statement said.
The Board Chairman also noted that the recruitment exercise aligns with the governor’s commitment to strengthening the education sector, especially at the local levels, adding that all local governments will be adequately represented in the recruitment process.
‘The recruitment drive is part of the governor’s commitment to strengthening the education sector in Kwara state, ensuring that each community within the 16 LGEAs receives adequate educational resources and support’ he said.
The SUBEB Chairman added that the recruitment exercise will last for 3 weeks from the date of commencement.
‘This is because the 2024/2025 resumption date is coming up soon precisely in September, 2024.
Schedule of recruitment exercise across the state will be released soon’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
