Drama As 50,000 People Apply For 1,000 Teaching Jobs In Lagos

 

Mr. Suru Avoseh, a member, Lagos State Civil Service Commission, says no fewer than 50,000 applicants had applied for one thousand vacant teaching jobs announced by the state government in 2019.

 

Avoseh made this known during the New Year Party organized by the Badagry Women Development Forum on Sunday in Badagry.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Lagos State Government had on Nov. 11 announced the plans to employ one thousand teachers into the public secondary schools across the state.

 

Avoseh said some of the applicants that qualified for the job had been invited for the examination.

“It is certain that not everybody that applied for the job will be employed, and not all that passed the examination will be given employment,” the commission member said.

 

He said that shortly Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and Civil Service Commission would soon start to employ people in the state

 

“So, we are making the preparation now,” Avoseh said.

 

He challenged women in Badagry to take over from the men in politics for the sake of development of the city.

 

Avoseh urged them to fight for their rightful place in politics, adding that they had every right to contest for any political post of their choice.

 

Also, Mrs Funmilola Olajide, Director, Lagos State Office of Special Education, urged women to be best friends of their children.

 

Olajide said that this would make the children tell them things that happened outside their homes.

“Always make children feel at home,” she said.
