Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (KWSUBEB) said it has recruited 1,811 applicants for employment as teachers and non-teachers in junior schools in the state.
A statement by Atere Aminat Abiola, KWSUBEB Press Secretary on behalf of the chairman, Prof Sheu Raheem Adaramaja on Tuesday said the 1,811 shortlisted were selected from a total of 55,713 applicants from across the state.
According to the statement, the breakdown of the successful applicants included 1,500 teachers, mostly for STEM subjects, and 311 non-teaching staff comprising drivers, security guards, and office assistants for schools in the 16 local government areas of the state.
“Successful applicants with valid phone numbers have since been contacted for their letters.
“Documentation started on Monday, January 6, with successful applicants from Kwara North, Tuesday, January 7, is for new hires from Kwara South, while Wednesday, January 8, is for successful candidates from Kwara Central.
“Documents required during documentation include original and two photocopies of all credentials; two file jackets and tags,” the statement said.
The candidates are also expected to provide a citizenship certificate, two passport photographs, a bond signing, and a filled bio data form.
Adaramaja said the process focused more on hiring persons who would stay in their place of assignment, underscoring why the board sought nominations of competent and qualified hands from rural communities to bridge the manpower need in the hinterlands.
