  • PublishedJanuary 30, 2026

Two weeks after Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State gave a directive for the release of appointment letters for the newly recruited teachers, the state government has yet to carry out the directive.

Governor Adeleke had penultimate week, directed the state Ministry of Education to release the appointment letters of the newly recruited teachers.

However, the directive of the Governor was not carried out by the Ministry or any other agency of government.

For over two years, prospective teachers who had gone through various stages of the recruitment exercise are yet to know their fate.

At different times, Governor Adeleke had given promises as to when the newly recruited teachers will commence work, but all to no avail.

The government had promised to employ not less than 5,000 teachers to take care of the shortage of teachers in both the public primary and secondary schools in the state.

This is even as the government promised to employ education officers who will be in charge of inspection of schools and perform other duties in the state Ministry of Education.

Recall that the teachers recruited by the immediate past administration of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola at the tail end of the administration were disengaged by the government of Adeleke shortly after he (Adeleke) assumed office in 2022.

The state commissioner for Education, Hon Dipo Eluwole in a statement issued recently said the recruitment exercise will follow due process and different steps will also be followed.
