Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has approved the recruitment of teachers and school staff for public primary and junior secondary schools. The approval is linked to hiring through the state’s Universal Basic Education framework. Premium Times reports that the Executive Chairman of the Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board, Hyginus Banko, says the recruitment involves about 6,500 teachers. The Punch reports a figure of 6,580 teachers and additional school staff, also for public primary and junior secondary levels.
Both outlets describe the approval as coming through state education authorities and indicate that the process will follow recruitment steps for filling positions in basic education institutions. The reports do not provide further details on the recruitment timeline, placement locations, or qualification requirements, beyond noting the number of teachers and staff to be hired and that the hiring targets public schools in Enugu State.
