Oyo Govt Set To Recruit About 7,500 Teachers – Oyo Education Commissioner |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Oyo State government has announced plan to recruit about 7,500 teachers across the State soon.

The newly deployed Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Barrister Olasunkanmi Olaleye stated this on Sunday while featuring on BOTTOMLINE, a political programme on IBR 92.5fm Ibadan.

Giving a breakdown, the Commissioner said primary schools will benefit most as about 5,000 Teachers will be employed by the State government for Basic Education while about 2,500 will be recruited into the secondary schools.

When reminded of the promise made by his predecessor on this development, the Commissioner said “collation of data delayed the State government’s plan till now but in couple of days, adverts will be out for suitable candidates to apply”.

Contrary to the rumour making the round that the State Government has cancelled its free education policy, the Commissioner said “the free education policy of his Excellency, Engineer Seyi Makinde was well thought-out and so, there is no going back.

“Funding is not a problem because the state government has blocked all leakages in governance hence, this policy of the Government has come to State”.
It might interest you to know that with this free education policy of the Government, School enrolment has increased by eleven percent.
On LAUTECH, Barr Olasunkanmi said the State Government has not given up on its plan to solely own LAUTECH adding that “there was a meeting in this regard with the National Universities Commission about two weeks ago”.

He however vowed that the State government will deal with Principals/Head of Schools that may be out to sabotage the efforts.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
