The Chairman of Ekiti State Teaching Service Commission (TSC), Mrs Rhoda Ojo has re-emphasized the determination of the commission to employ only capable and suitably qualified teachers and staff into the public secondary schools in the ongoing recruitment exercise.
Mrs Ojo who made the assertion while playing host to members of Ekiti State House of
Assembly Committee on Education in her office in Ado-Ekiti said that the commission has put in place measures that would ensure that credible, capable and qualified professional teachers are given the teaching job in the state.
She said that era of half-baked personnel handling and mentoring pupils in public schools in the state is over, stressing that, the future of secondary schools students must not be mortgaged for whatever reason.
The TSC Boss briefed the committee on the
delay in the payment of car and housing loans, which she said was as a result of the increase in
the amount payable to beneficiaries and the low revolving funds, emphasizing that payment would be made in no distant time.
She explained further that the commission has finally resolved the backlog of inherited crises on revalidation, 2022/2023 promotion exercise, while the conversion and inter-cadre transfer for deserved staff would be concluded
within the next one week.
The TSC Boss commended the state House of Assembly for the speedy passage of the bill establishing the Ekiti State Secondary Schools Board, which is expected to take off soon in the state.
In his contribution, the Permanent Secretary of the commission, Mr Michael Boluwade debunked rumour going round the state that the commission has been issuing letters of appointment to some applicants, saying that such an allegation was orchestrated by some faceless individuals to malign the efforts of the commission and to blackmail and rubbish the
good intentions of the present administration.
Boluwade disclosed that the final results of the
written examination are being collated and would be released early next week, assuring that successful applicants would be contacted for the final lap of the recruitment exercise.
In his reaction, the Chairman, House of Assembly Committee on Education, Hon.
Adeyemi Awoniyi commended the leadership of the commission for putting up transparent process for staff recruitment and for the matured way it has been handling the challenges that occurred in the recruitment exercise.
Hon Awoniyi said the House committee would continue to support the activities of the commission and recommend assistance where
necessary to guarantee quality education in the state.
He advocated for good working relationships with the house and the committee for a sustainable legacy in the education industry in the state under the Biodun Oyebanji-led government.
Other members of the committee present during the oversight visit include Hon. Femi Fatunla, Hon. Babatunde Oke and the Clerk of the committee, Mr Olajide Adebayo.
