Sheriff Oborevwori, governot of Delta has approved the recruitment of primary school teachers, clerical officers, and watchmen in 22 local government areas in the state.

Victor Ebonka,  Delta State chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON),  announced the approval while addressing journalists at the end of the State Joint Account Allocation Committee (JAAC) meeting in Asaba on Friday.

Ebonka said the approval was given at the JAAC meeting, while recruitment will be based on the individual local government’s needs assessment.

He said: “At today’s JAAC meeting, His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, gave approval for 22 out of the 25 local government councils to immediately employ the services of primary school teachers in their respective Local Government Councils.

“This employment will not have a uniform number because each local government council will be considering those that have retired from their councils. So the number to employ will vary from council to council.

“We are also employing watchmen, clerical officers, and all other support staff for the Local Government Education Authority. This will go a long way in solving the problem of lack of teachers in our primary schools.”
