Oyo state would employ 9,000 out of 90,000 applicants into the teaching service commission.
This was revealed by the Chairman of the commission, Akin Alamu, while speaking on a radio programme on Friday.
Alamu also revealed that the 90,000 applicants who were captured would sit for a Computer Based Test in August.
Speaking on those who would be employed, he explained that only 7,000 would be employed into teaching positions while the remaining 2,000 will work as non-teaching staff.
Though, the chairman didn’t say non-indigenes would be shut out, he stressed that more preference would be given to indigenes of the state.
The teachers would be employed in batches to fill vacancies in public schools in the state.
Vanguard reports that some of the applicants expressed confidence in the process so far.
“We are hoping for the best. The process is still transparent for now. We hope it will not be hijacked by politicians at the employment stage.”
They commended Governor Seyi Makinde for reducing unemployment in the state.
