The attention of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has been drawn to reports of a protest by individuals claiming to have been denied employment during the recent recruitment of teachers by the Ondo State Government through the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
To clarify, those who protested were not teachers but applicants defrauded by scammers who issued fake employment and posting letters during the recruitment exercise, after collecting money from them.
These defrauded applicants were identified during the biometric verification process and informed that their letters were fake.
Already, disciplinary action has been taken against three SUBEB insiders who allegedly connived with external individuals to defraud the applicants.
The over 2000 teachers duly employed by the government for primary and secondary schools have already commenced work.
However, Mr. Governor has directed the management of SUBEB to invite the victims of the fraud for a meeting, while a committee has been constituted to further look into the matter.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ondo State.
