During the distribution ceremony, the Head of the Ogbomoso Zone for TESCOM, Prince Subomi Adedoyin, extended his heartfelt congratulations to the newly appointed teachers.
In his address, Prince Adedoyin emphasized the importance of professionalism and commitment, urging the appointees to dedicate themselves fully to their roles as educators. He underscored the essential role teachers play in shaping the future of the state and the nation at large.
Prince Adedoyin also took the opportunity to commend Governor Seyi Makinde for his unwavering dedication to the development of education in Oyo State. His support, he noted, has been instrumental in the ongoing reforms and improvements within the state’s educational infrastructure.
The appointment of new teachers, he said, is a testament to the governor’s vision of enhancing educational quality across Oyo State, ensuring that every child has access to a quality education.
The distribution of appointment letters is seen as a crucial step toward addressing the manpower needs of the education sector, particularly in light of the increasing demand for qualified teachers in the state.
By boosting the number of skilled educators, TESCOM is working towards achieving a more robust educational system that is capable of meeting the evolving needs of students.
In a show of solidarity and support, the Assistant Secretary of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Oyo State, Comrade Adegoke Amuda, expressed appreciation for the governor’s initiative.
Comrade Amuda acknowledged the positive impact this new development would have on both the teaching profession and the learning experience of students across the state.

The distribution of appointment letters is taking place simultaneously across Oyo State, with the recruitment exercise targeting various educational zones including Ibadan, Ogbomoso, Oyo, Iseyin, Saki and others.
This expansion of the teaching workforce is expected to enhance educational outcomes and ensure that schools in the state are adequately staffed with qualified professionals.
