Delta State To Recruit 1,500 Teachers in Core Subjects Areas

Mr Charles Aniagwu, the Delta State Commissioner for Information, has said the state has concluded plans to employ 1,500 teachers in core subject areas into the Unified Teaching Service of the state.

This was disclosed during a briefing to newsmen following a meeting held by the State Executive Council and presided over by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

According to Aniagwu the recruitment has become very necessary due to the vacancies created as a result of some teachers retiring, death and also establishment of new schools across the state.
