The Ondo State Government has approved the recruitment of 2000 teachers into the state civil service in its bid to boost the state’s education sector.
The state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, stated this yesterday at the inauguration of the late Rosa Jane Pelly legacy project at Fiwasaye Girls’ Grammar School, Akure.
While assuring the public of the government’s approval of 2000 teachers, the governor, who was represented by his deputy, Mr. Olayide Adelami, said his administration would continue to prioritize education.
“I am glad to say that the state government’s huge investment in the education sector is yielding positive results, as our students are doing well on all fronts.
“It is a known fact that Ondo State is now a force to reckon with in the education sector, both nationally and internationally.
“We have recently approved the recruitment of 2000 teachers into both our primary and secondary schools.
“Recently, the state government approved N550 million in registration of students in the state-owned secondary schools for the 2024 WAEC examination,” he said.
He praised the commitment of Miss Jane Pelly, who served as the pioneer principal of Fiwasaye Girls’ Grammar School between 1960 and 1973, calling on good-spirited Nigerians to partner with the state in achieving its educational goals.
