Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has approved the recruitment of teachers into public primary schools to improve learning outcomes in the state.

The Chairman, Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board, Prof Femi Akinwumi, said the approval reflected the administration’s commitment to repositioning basic education for quality service delivery across the state.

Akinwumi, in a statement on Tuesday, said the recruitment will be based strictly on consequential vacancies arising from the retirement of teachers over the past few years.

“The exercise is aimed at filling existing gaps in public primary schools to ensure adequate staffing.

“The governor’s approval is a clear demonstration of his commitment to ensuring that our primary schools are adequately staffed with qualified teachers.
