The Forum of Council Chairmen in Osun State elected under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC) known as Yes/No Chairmen has announced a temporary suspension of the reabsorption of primary school teachers and health workers who were employed by former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola but dismissed by the incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke upon assuming office in 2022.

In a statement signed by the State ALGON Chairman and Ifedayo Local Government Chairman – APC extraction, Hon. Idowu Abiodun, all 30 local government areas and the Ife-East Area Office have been instructed to put the reabsorption process on hold pending further announcements from the council forum.

Over 1,500 teachers and nearly 3,000 health workers who had been gainfully employed under the Oyetola administration were relieved of their duties shortly after Governor Adeleke’s inauguration.

The move sparked concerns over the continuity of education and healthcare service delivery across the state.

The Council Chairmen and Councillors elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC) had previously resolved to recall the affected workers, citing the need to strengthen the provision of quality education and healthcare services throughout Osun State.

Hon. Abiodun stated that the announcement on the official reabsorption would be made as soon as possible, ensuring that the sacked workers return to duty to continue serving the people of the state, as many believed it was destined for greatness.
