The Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has shut the job application portal opened to hire public primary school teachers, after it received 52,423 applications.
Recall that the job application portal was opened on June 25 and remained open till July 9, 2024.
A statement signed by the Executive Chairman, Oyo SUBEB, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, on Thursday, said the job application portal was closed after the lapse of 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. However, we are compelled to close the portal, as the deadline has passed.
“We received not less than 52,423 submitted applications within the number of days of opening the portal. That was impressive.
“After shutting the portal, our team started sorting out the applications and picked the suitably qualified candidates who will be contacted by the board,” he said.
The SUBEB chairman said the basic education sub-sector was dear to Governor Seyi Makinde, adding that other aspects of the employment process would continue to be transparent.
He advised applicants to be wary of fake news on the ongoing recruitment process, advising them to regularly check their e-mails and phones for more information on the next steps.
Adeniran stressed that “after the applications are sorted, the next stage will be the Computer-Based Test (CBT). The date, venue and time scheduled for each candidate will be sent to them through their email and phone numbers.”
In another development, the board has called for synergy between it and the state Local Government Staff Pension Board.
The call was made during a courtesy visit by the chairman of the local government staff pension board, Hon. Akeem Ige to SUBEB office.
Dr. Adeniran said this would assist in ensuring a faster process in the documentation of retired primary school teachers.
He noted that as the main body responsible for payment of retired local government staff, including teachers, the board needed to “support and synergise with OYOSUBEB to ensure optimal performance.”
