Refuse assignment and get fired, Delta gov't warns new teachers
The Delta State government has warned newly hired teachers for technical colleges in the state not to reject their assignments so as not to forfeit the offer.
Technical Education Commissioner Shola Daibo said so on Tuesday while distributing hiring letters to newly recruited teachers for the three new technical colleges in Effurun, Asaba and Obiaruku.
She urged teachers to be committed and dedicated to their work, and to avoid jostling during official hours.
She said: "Over 28,000 people applied for the position, of which approximately 8,000 were shortlisted for written and oral interviews and practical work.
"It was strictly on merit, we didn't run the exam, and the governor said he wanted to get the best, therefore, we had two consultants to lead the hiring process.< /p>
"That's why the job has been delayed until now. It was really tedious because it took us almost a year to get there. They did exams, aptitude tests , we did oral and practical work.”
Ms. Daibo added that the new employees would be trained by experts, in particular, from the Ogwashi-Uku State Polytechnic.
"Technical college graduates will be self-reliant, reducing unemployment and poverty," she said.
