50,000 Applicants For 1,000 Lagos Teaching Jobs

No fewer than 50, 000 applicants applied for 1,000 vacant teaching jobs announced by the Lagos State Government, Mr. Suru Avoseh, a member, Lagos State Civil Service Commission, said on Sunday.

Avoseh who made this known during the New Year Party organised by the Badagry Women Development Forum on Sunday in Badagry also revealed that the Lagos State Civil Service Commission would soon open the portals to recruit qualified people into the civil service.

The Lagos State Government had on Nov. 11 announced plans to employ 1,000 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.

“After the examination, those that passed and meet up with the standard will be called for oral interviews.

“At present, some of the applicants who succeeded in the examination have started receiving text messages through their phone numbers.

“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.

“We will soon start employment too; every motion has been put in place and we have discussed it with the Head of Service.

“Currently, we have commenced staff auditing to know the number of vacancies to be filled up.

“It is after the auditing that the commission will be able to tell Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu the number of staff to be employed.

“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.

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

In her remarks, Mrs Joy Damilola, a Human Resource Consultant, said women should be warriors at her home-front.

“Women are warriors, we need to be warriors; we need to be warriors at home, and we have to fight for our children, husbands and families.

Commenting, Mrs Sewede Pot-Balogun, the Coordinator, Badagry Women Development Forum, said that the purpose of the forum was to fight for rightful position for women in the town.

Pot-Balogun said that the forum consisted of women from different professionals such as lawyers, doctors, engineers, bankers and teachers, among others.
