The Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), has closed its online portal for recruiting primary school teachers, with an overwhelming response of 52,423 applications received. The portal was opened on June 25, 2024, and closed on July 9, 2024, after the deadline.
“We are impressed by this response which shows that people are truly keen and excited to work with the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board,” said SUBEB Chairman, Nureni Adeniran. “However, we are compelled to close the portal, as the deadline has passed.”
Adeniran added, “We received not less than 52,423 submitted applications within the number of days of opening the portal. That was impressive.” He noted that the Board’s team has started sorting out the applications to pick the suitably qualified candidates who will be contacted by the Board.
According to the chairman, the basic education sub-sector is dear to Governor Seyi Makinde. He advised applicants to be wary of fake news on the ongoing recruitment process, advising them to regularly check their emails and phones for more information on the next steps.
“After shutting the portal, our team has started sorting out the applications to pick the suitably qualified candidates who will be contacted by the Board,” Adeniran explained.
“The next stage will be the CBT examination. The date, venue, and time scheduled for each candidate will be sent to them through their emails and phone numbers.” He added,
“The CBT examination will be conducted soon, and candidates will be informed accordingly. We believe this will help us select the best candidates for the role.”
In another development, the Board has called for synergy between it and the Oyo State Local Government Staff Pension Board.
This was revealed during a courtesy visit to Oyo SUBEB by the local government staff pension board Chairman, Akeem Ige.
Adeniran said the synergy would assist in ensuring a faster process in the documentation of retired primary school teachers.
