The Ondo State Government has suspended three principals and 23 secondary school teachers from duty over indiscipline.
The state Teaching Service Commission
Chairman, Mr. Francis Igbasan, made this known while presenting
promotion letters to 2,500 teachers in Akure.
According to Igbasan, the culprits failed in their responsibilities.
He said, “The commission would not take
the issue of indiscipline at work lightly again. The TESCOM of yesterday
is different of TESCOM of today. Any teacher or member of staff that
does not take his or her duty seriously would be shown the way out.
“This government is trying its best for workers, so they should reciprocate by being diligent in their duties.”
Governor Olusegun Mimiko, on the occasion, had directed the commission to recruit 1,050 teachers immediately.
Mimiko, represented by his deputy,
Alhaji Lasisi Oluboyo, however, urged the commission to consider merit
while carrying out the exercise.
The governor added, “We shall continue
to ensure that the welfare of our workers is accorded its rightful place
in the scheme of things and ensure that our teachers are trained and
rewarded to enable them to re-dedicate themselves to their duties.”
