Indiscipline: Mimiko suspends three principals, 23 teachers

Following their alleged un-professional attitudes toward
their job, three principals and 23 teachers from
different public secondary schools across Ondo State
have been suspended by the state government.

This was disclosed by the Chairman of the state
Teaching Service Commission, Mr Francis Igbasan in
Akure, the state capital, at the presentation of
promotion letters to 2,500 teachers in the state.
He explained that during an unscheduled visit of
members of the commission to over 72 secondary
schools across the state, it was discovered that the
suspended principals and teachers were not
disciplined.
According to him, "the commission would not take
the issue of indiscipline at work lightly again, the
TESCOM of yesterday is different from the TESCOM of
today. Any teacher or member of staff that is not
serious at his or her duty posts would be shown the
way out.
"This government is trying its best for workers of this
state, so the workers too should reciprocate it with
hardwork," he added.
At the occasion, Governor Olusegun Mimiko
announced that the commission had been directed to
recruit 1,050 teachers.
Mimiko, who was presented by his deputy, Alhaji
Lasisi Oluboyo stated that the recruitment would be
based on merit and that the recruitment examination
conducted in 2014 will also be used.
