Private primary and secondary schools in Oyo State, South-West Nigeria, have been hit with shortage of teachers.
source hinted that the development is visible in major cities and towns such as Ogbomoso, Oyo, Saki, Iseyin, Eruwa and other locations in the state.
Findings by DAILY POST revealed that this was noticed at the beginning of the second term of the 2024/2025 academic session on Monday, 6th January, 2025.
It was observed that hundreds of teachers in both private primary and secondary schools across the state failed to resume when the new term began.
This is said to be due to the employment of some teachers by the Oyo State government and the implementation of the new minimum wage.
It could be recalled that the state government under the leadership of Engineer Seyi Makinde recently employed no fewer than 5,600 teachers across the state, in order to fill the vacant positions in public schools across the state.
