Governor Oshiomhole recalls sacked teachers in Edo state

41 teachers who were sacked seven months ago on allegation bordering on absence from duty in Edo state were on Wednesday reinstated into the service of the state by Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

The Governor also announced the recall of the sacked education secretaries in local education authorities.

He said, “In the spirit of our 101 years of Organised Labour, in the spirit of our movement, in the spirit of our labour ancestors and in the spirit of today, I will order the Commissioner to recall all the teachers and they will resume by next week.

“I should be worried about the children of Edo people, just as I should be worried about my children. We are going to rebuild more schools, recruit more teachers so that for every subject in our schools, we must have qualified teachers.”
