Applicants fopr the 7,000 teaching jobs in Oyo state have appealed to the state Government to ensure that the recruitment process is not characterized by personal and political considerations.
The applicants made this appeal at the Teaching Service Commission zonal offices across the state, during the submission of their completed application forms.
''Government should not allow the recruitment process to be colorated by political and personal considerations. , but it should be based on merit'', the applicants stated.
Sadly, the questionable recruitment process in the past had resulted in the worrisome attitude and behavior of students in public schools in the state, with those in the private schools also in focus.
Cultism, rape and armed robbery are now past times of a sizable number of secondary school students, while parents, guardians and school authorities watch helplessly.
In his views, the Chairman of the state Council of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Comrade Tojuade Adedoyin disclosed that the recruitment was a welcome development saying'' it has been long overdue. However, we are believing that they will follow due process by recruiting qualified teachers on merit and not for political patronage''.
