Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has promised to resolve the issue of teachers’ recruitment soon, describing it as one of the many challenges his administration is juggling.
Adeleke said that there is need for careful planning to avoid financial gridlock.
Governor Adeleke made this promise while reacting to the state’s remarkable improvement in national examinations, where Osun State rose to 7th position from 33rd in 2022.
He attributed this success to his administration’s commitment to restoring the state’s education sector to its former glory.
According to him, We will soon resolve the issue of teachers’ recruitment. Our government is juggling so many issues together at the same time. We seek to avoid financial gridlock which can result without careful planning.
Governor Adeleke commended the Commissioner for Education and all team leaders and members in the education system for making this dream a reality, calling the new rating “a really good news for all Osun people.
He said “I am elated that on a daily basis, good things, good news are happening to us as a state. I made that promise and now God and our team have made it possible. It is extraordinary to move from 33rd position to 7th within two years.
“But my real target is number One and it is possible. So our educational team should not rest yet. We must keep up the reforms. We must continue to innovate.
“Osun State University is thriving with our full support. University of Ilesa is growing so excellently and efficiently. Our polytechnics and College of Education are undergoing reforms to address all outstanding issues. We are multitasking to reposition Osun education for the better.”
