Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa
Ondo State Government has debunked alleged fraud in the latest teachers’ recruitment, stressing that the exercise followed due process.
In a statement by the Head of Service, Bayo Philip, it said: “It has come to the knowledge of the Office of the Head of Service that, some unsuspecting job seekers are reportedly being extorted by some unscrupulous elements regarding the recently-concluded recruitment exercise by Ondo State Universal Education Board (ODSUBEB) and Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM).
“This is to alert the general public to be weary of such scammers in order not to fall victim to their scheming.
“It would be recalled that Government has since concluded the recruitment and released the duly signed list and letters of appointment to successful candidates, thus concluding the entire exercise.
“It is instructive to note that, government put in place a transparent, fraud-free process for the recruitment of qualified teachers to fill critical vacancies in both Public Primary and Secondary Schools across the State, leading to the emergence of appointable candidates, at no cost whatsoever.
“Members of the public are therefore advised not to offer bribe or any form of inducement to anyone purporting to be in position to facilitate employment either in Ondo State Universal Education Board (ODSUBEB), Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) or any other Government Agencies, for Government will not be liable for such under-hand dealings.”
