The Executive Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board, Mr. Nureni Adeniran, in a statement by his Media Aide, Olamide Adeniji, disclosed that the Oyo State Government Executive Council had approved the reinstatement of 129 public primary school teachers who were dismissed by the previous administration between 2011 and 2019.

He furthermore noted that the reinstatement was subject to the teachers agreeing not to demand arrears payment for the period they were away. He also appreciated the Governor for his consideration, tagging the development as a symbolic achievement.

“Apart from being an addition to the dwindling numbers of teachers in the public primary sector, thousands of family dependants who have been subjected to untold economic hardship due to the layoff of their breadwinners will now have a new lease of life,” Mr Adeniran said.

He also used the opportunity to admonish teachers in the State to reciprocate the good gestures of Seyi Makinde through re-dedication to work and commitment to their duties.
