One hundred and twenty nine teachers from public primary schools who had been wrongfully fired by the previous administration have been reinstated by the Oyo State Government.
Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, Executive Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board dropped the hint today while congratulating the teachers
Dr Adeniran explained that 129 teachers who were wrongfully fired by the Oyo State Government between 2011 and 2019 are now eligible for reinstatement, subject to agreeing not to demand pay for the time they were away, noting that the state had changed their absence period to a leave of absence.
Adeniran expressed his gratitude to Engr. Seyi Makinde, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, for his kindness and selfless consideration in leading the Pacesetter State.
The return of the 129 state school teachers, he said, is a symbolic victory that cannot be overlooked.
“This is a plus for the education sector. Apart from being an addition to the dwindling number of teachers in the public primary sector, thousands of family dependents who have been subjected to untold economic hardship due to the layoff of their breadwinners will now have a new lease of life”, Adeniran said.
Adeniran consequently urged educators in the state to show their appreciation for Makinde’s generosity by upholding their responsibilities and increasing their level of commitment to their jobs.
He also urged them to support the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, which aims to alter the perceptions of the state’s educational system
