Sad Christmas, As Edo State Government Sacks 836 Teachers!

 Gov Adams Oshiomhole

Edo State Commissioner for Basic Education, Mr. Patrick Aguinede, Thursday confirmed the sack of  836 teachers  by the state government.

The  sad news came  after speculations that the  State Government had planned to sack  about 3,000 workers in its teaching service.

Confirming the figure, Aguinede said the sack was sequel to the recommendation of a verification panel set up by the state government.

He said the verification was not meant to witch-hunt anyone, but to ascertain the number of those fit enough to be in service.

More to come as events unfold.
