Gov. Monday Okpebholo of Edo has approved the recruitment of 500 teachers by the State Basic Education Board (SUBEB) to boost learning.

The Commissioner for Education, Dr Emmanuel Iyamu, announced this on Wednesday in Benin on assumption of office.

Iyamu was sworn in on Monday by Okpebholo following his confirmation as commissioner by the state’s House of Assembly.

The new commissioner reiterated the importance placed on the education sector by the Okpebholo-led administration.

He added that the recruitment would be done in tranches, stressing that “it is meant to fill the numerous vacancies in public schools.

“Government is committed to ensuring that all public schools in Edo are adequately staffed by qualified teachers.

“The era of having two or three teachers in a school is gone and I am calling on qualified Nigerians to apply.”

According to him, the recruitment is strictly merit-based.
