Oyo Cancels Six Years Promotion Waiting Period for Primary School Teachers

 

       Governor Seyi Makinde 

 

Oyo State Government has announced the cancellation of the  six-year promotion  waiting period for primary school teachers in the state.

Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Dr Nureni Adeniran disclosed this on Thursday, during a live programme on BCOS, Ibadan.

He said the promotion waiting period of teachers on Grade Level 13 and above was initially six years, but the state government has adjusted it to be at par with their colleagues at the mainstream service.

The SUBEB boss explained that that this was necessitated by the fact that welfare of teachers and stakeholders in the education sector is paramount to  Governor Seyi Makinde.

Adeniran applauded the governor’s  investment in laudable projects, which in turn is enhancing effective learning and quality academic activities.

He stressed that SUBEB and other educational bodies in the state are committed to the gradual improvement and performance of learners.

Adeniran also reiterated the commitment of the present administration to sustain its drive for quality education in the state. 

Applauding the government’s gesture towards his colleagues, the Chairman, Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in the state, Mr. Raji Oladimeji Ismael, said the union appreciates the present administration in Oyo State.

He noted that the present administration has impacted the lives of teachers in so many ways.

Raji said Makinde has surpassed past administrations, pointing at the recently approved leave grant for teachers, which will be released very soon.

“We are joyous, because the approval of promotion letters to teachers on Grade Level 13-16 has been a clog in the wheels of progress in our profession. Governor Makinde has done what others could not do. The waiting period of teachers has been removed. Instead of six years, we henceforth will wait for three years,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Barr. Rahman Abiodun Abdu-Raheem, has revealed that the Oyo State Government has commenced the distribution of exercise books to students in public secondary schools and technical colleges for the 2021/2022 academic session.

According to the commissioner,  this is another forward leap in the history of education in the state, as this will assist parents in reducing the cost of education of their children.

Abdu-Raheem noted that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the governor had invested funds on personnel and education materials from the Oyo Education Trust Fund’s purse, in order to bring greater development to the sector.

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...
