The Oyo State Government has ordered about two hundred and two (202) teachers who were not integrated into the Post-Primary Schools Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) to return to their Local Government Universal Basic Education Authorities, (LGUBEAs) without further delay.
Speaking during a meeting with Education Secretaries from 33 LGUBEAs, on Friday, the Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, OYOSUBEB, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran said the teachers, who are currently floating, risk their salaries being withheld if they do not comply.
He noted that while some of them did not meet up with the requirements for the transfer, others were affected by none vacancy at TESCOM.
Recall that the Oyo state government absorbed about 2,000 primary school teachers, seconded to TESCOM by the previous administration in October 2022.
However, about 202 teachers who were not integrated into the post-primary school system, have refused to report back at their LGUBEAs or OYOSUBEB, despite being paid their salaries regularly, by the present administration.
Reacting, Dr. Adeniran said the teachers’ refusal to report at their LGUBEAS, means their appointments are not regularised.
He said, “All teachers not integrated into TESCOM who are refusing to return to OYOSUBEB, must report at their LGUBEAs with immediate effect.”
Adeniran frowned at the salaries being paid which does not commiserate with the number of teachers on the Board’s voucher, due to their refusal to report to classrooms.
He added that Governor Seyi Makinde had clearly stated in 2022 that the non-absorbed teachers should return to OYOSUBEB.
