The Oyo State government has reinstated 129 public primary school teachers, unlawfully sacked by the previous administration.
The Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, OyoSUBEB, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, stated this today, while congratulating the teachers.
A statement signed by the Head of OyoSUBEB Media Team, Olamide Adeniji, qquited Adeniran as saying that the Executive Council of Oyo State approved that a total of 129 officers, wrongly dismissed by the Oyo State government between 2011 and 2019, be reinstated, subject to agreeing not to demand for payment of arrears of salary for the period they were away, which the state has converted to leave of absence.
Appreciating the executive governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, for his kindness and selfless consideration in administrating the Pacesetter State, Adeniran noted that the recent reinstatement of the state’s 129 school teachers who were fired by the previous administration, is a symbolic achievement that cannot be neglected.
Adeniran enthused, “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 therefore 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 Governor Makinde-led administration’s goal of changing the narratives in the education sector of the state.
