The Kogi State government’s resolve to recruit 500(?) or 1000(?) teachers is the first human development project embarked upon by Governor Idris Ichalla Wada ever since his assumption of office in Kogi State.
The Kogi State Teaching Service Commision, on 16th May, 2013 advertised on its board and on the Confluence Radio, 94.00 FM Stereo its resolve to recruit suitably qualified professional graduates into the teaching workforce of the state. The fields to be covered in the recruitment are:
*Computer Science
*English Language
*Mathematics
*Biology
*Physics
*Chemistry, and
*Agricultural Science.
The recruitment requires that the applicant have computer literacy certificate and education qualification. The application ends six weeks from the date of publication.
The first and the foremost advantage of this recruitment is that jobs are created, and secondly, standard of education is uplifted as the appointment is chiefly science-based. Most of the secondary schools in the villages in Kogi State do not have enough science teachers. Most village secondary schools rely solely on the natives from higher institutions who come home on holidays for science teaching; hence, the lower standard of science education in Kogi State.
We pray that the call for aptitude test, interview and employment be based on merit rather than on who-knows-who as it is the rule today in Nigeria.

Lokoja, Kogi State.
