The Ondo State government has presented letters of promotion to 4,000 teaching and non-teaching staff of public secondary schools.

It said the recruitment of another 1,500 teachers will be completed before the end of next year.

Governor Olusegun Mimiko presented the letters of promotion to the beneficiaries at the launch in Akure, the state capital.

Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Aderotimi Adelola, the governor said the ceremony was in fulfillment of his promises to prioritise the welfare of workers, particularly payment of salaries and prompt issuance of letters of promotion to deserving staff.

He reiterated the commitment of the government to the rapid development of education in the state, adding that various projects that elevate the education sector will continually be implemented.

Mimiko told the beneficiaries that their promotions are in recognition of their good deeds and they should reciprocate the gesture by ensuring that they contribute their best to the society.

He urged them to rededicate themselves to excellent teachings in schools to afford students the best chances to excel in their national or international examinations.‎
