Teachers on the Run: Oyo Vows to Withhold Salaries Over Unexplained Absences

Published

on

The Oyo State Government has directed 202 teachers, who were not integrated into the Post-Primary Schools Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), to immediately return to their respective Local Government Universal Basic Education Authorities (LGUBEAs).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The directive was issued on Friday by the Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), Dr. Nureni Adeniran, during a meeting with Education Secretaries from the 33 LGUBEAs, held in Ibadan.

It will be recalled that the state had absorbed around 2,000 primary school teachers seconded to TESCOM by the previous administration in October 2022. However, 202 of them were not integrated into the post-primary system and have since failed to return to OYOSUBEB or their original LGUBEAs—despite receiving salaries regularly under the current administration.

Dr. Adeniran warned that these non-compliant teachers—referred to as “floating teachers”—now risk forfeiting their salaries if they do not comply with the directive. He noted that some of them were not eligible for the transfer due to failure to meet certain requirements, while others were affected by the lack of vacancies within TESCOM.

He emphasized that their refusal to resume duties at their original postings means their appointments remain unregularised, describing the situation as unacceptable.

“All teachers not absorbed into TESCOM who are still avoiding return to OYOSUBEB must immediately report to their LGUBEAs,” Adeniran stressed, adding that the mismatch between teachers on the payroll and those actively teaching must be corrected.

He reminded the gathering that Governor Seyi Makinde had, as far back as 2022, instructed the non-absorbed teachers to return to OYOSUBEB, stating, “Disregarding this directive amounts to gross misconduct.”

Adeniran therefore ordered the prompt compilation of the names and LGUBEAs of the 202 affected teachers for appropriate administrative action.

Meanwhile, he announced the launch of the School-Based Management Committee–School Improvement Programme (SBMC–SIP), a collaborative initiative between OYOSUBEB and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC).

The programme is designed to foster community involvement and ownership in the management of public schools by providing direct funding to SBMCs for infrastructure upgrades, procurement of learning materials, and essential equipment.

“This intervention aims to expand access to quality basic education and ensure equity across schools in Nigeria,” he said.

Adeniran urged Education Secretaries to ensure close monitoring of the project across their LGUBEAs to guarantee effective implementation.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
