Osun Begins Interview Of 5,250 Teachers, Education Officers
The Osun State Government on Wednesday gave approval to the Ministry of Education to commence interviews for applicants who made the cut-off mark in the planned recruitment of 5,250 teachers across the state.
THE WHISTLER recalls that Governor Ademola Adeleke in February 2024 approved the recruitment process of teachers for public schools in the state.

He said “The Council, while emphasizing the need for a meritorious outcome further directed the Ministry of Education to issue a detailed official notice on the interview exercise, listing the dates and venue of the interview exercise.
“The Council noted that the delay in the conclusion of the exercise was due in part to the protracted negotiations on the new minimum wage which has now been concluded and for which the state government has set up an implementation committee for commencement.”
