Makinde reinstates 129 primary school teachers sacked by Ajimobi
Oyo State government has reinstated 129 primary school teachers sacked by the administration of late Abiola Ajimobi.
Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran stated this on Wednesday.
He said that the state’s Executive Council approved that the 129 officers wrongly dismissed by the state government between 2011 and 2019 for reinstatement, subject to agreeing not to demand for arrears payment for the period they were away which the state converted to leave of absence.
Adeniran appreciated Governor Seyi Makinde for his kindness and selfless consideration in administering the Pacesetter State.
He noted that the reinstatement of the 129 school teachers is a symbolic achievement that cannot be neglected.
“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.
He called on teachers in the state to reciprocate Makinde’s gesture, through commitment to duties and redoubling their dedication to work.
He also called on them to key into the administration’s goal to change the narratives in the education sector of the state.
