After a long period of verification, the Oyo State government, yesterday, commenced the distribution of 5000 employment letters to newly-recruited teachers under the state’s Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM).
This was disclosed by the Chairman, Oyo State Teaching Service Commission, Akinade Alamu, in Ibadan.
The chairman said the government approved 5,000 appointment letters for distribution and 4,400 letters have been released by TESCOM, while the remaining were withheld due to certain errors on the part of the applicants.
Alamu noted that the errors include misspelt names invalid emails among others, assuring those yet to receive theirs that the letters would be collected immediately after correction of errors by the applicants.
He urged selected candidates to resume immediately once they received their letters.
Alamu said, “While congratulating the successful applicants, we want to appeal to those that are also successful but yet to get their letters to exercise patience.”
“We discovered that 600 among the letters have errors that need to be rectified, that is already being sorted and corrected as we speak and will be distributed as well.”
The Permanent Secretary, TESCOM, Olabisi Oderinde, congratulated the selected candidates for their patience despite several breaks in the process of the appointment due to Covid-19.
Oderinde urged the successful candidates to prepare to work diligently as this will bring the Governor’s passion for education to reality.
