Oyo Govt Begins Recruitment Exercise Of Primary School Teachers, Caregivers For Special Schools

Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi

The Oyo State Government has opened a portal for the recruitment of 7,000 primary school teachers and 100 caregivers for special schools across the state.

The Daily Nigerian reports that the Executive Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, Dr Nureni Adeniran, announced the opening of the portal at a news conference in Ibadan.

According to Mr Adeniran, the job portal for recruitment is: subeb.jobportal.oyostate.gov.ng.

He said the portal would be active from 6 p.m. on Tuesday (June 25) to July 9.

He urged all intending applicants to be wary of scammers who might open other portals aside from the official one released by SUBEB.

“subeb.jobportal.oyostate.gov.ng is the SUBEB job portal where we expect intending applicants for the 7,000 teaching positions as well as 100 caregivers to put in their online applications.

“The job portal will register each candidate with his/her email, phone number, and National Identification Number (NIN), among other requirements.

“At the end of the three weeks, the portal will be shut and we will go back to the drawing board to do our analysis to shortlist candidates and see those that actually complied with the requirements.

“Thereafter, the shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in a Computer Based Test (CBT) examination.

“After the CBT examination, the number of those that passed will determine those that will proceed to the next stage, which is oral interview,” he stated.

The SUBEB chairman urged all intending applicants to channel the complaints or challenges encountered in the process of the online application through the phone number and email addresses provided on the website for free support services.

He advised every intending applicant to upload the necessary documents while assuring the general public that the exercise would be transparent and based on merit.

According to him, the application process from beginning to end is free of charge, adding no person is assigned to collect money from any applicant.

Mr Adeniran said that the decision to embark on the recruitment was to reduce the unemployment rate in the state.

“In addition, the administration of Gov. Seyi Makinde wants to expand the job space in the basic education sub-sector and those who are interested in working as caregivers, knowing fully well that education is a major pillar of the administration,” he said.
