Oyo fixes July 22 for teachers recruitment exam

The Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board has said the computer-based test for the recruitment of teachers into primary schools in the state, will begin on Monday, July 22 through Friday, July 26, 2024.

The Chairman, OyoSUBEB, Nureni Adeniran, made this known in Ibadan on Wednesday.

Adeniran said 50,097 applicants scaled the application exercise to take part in the computer-based tests for the available positions.

He said the specific date and time for individual applicant had already been communicated to them through their emails and or phone numbers.

He, therefore, advised applicants to check their emails and phones for confirmation regularly.

He added that the venue for the exam is the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre, Computer Based Testing Centre, Ajibode, Ibadan.

He said, “The Board has approved that the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre, Computer Based testing centre, should conduct the computer-based tests for the applicants because of its long-standing pedigree in such examinations.”

Adeniran instructed all applicants to print copies of their CBT examination schedule and their application print-out, bearing their passports from the job portal.

The OYOSUBEB boss said the two print-outs would admit applicants into the CBT examination hall.

He also said applicants must adhere strictly to the time and date sent to them by the Board, as loitering around the centre would not be condoned.

The Chairman maintained that successful candidates from the computer-based tests would be required to appear for oral interviews.

Adeniran reiterated the Board’s commitment to a credible exercise, saying, “No applicant should rely on hear-says. The Board will always give you updates on each step of the exercise, so please beware of scammers.”

Meanwhile, Adeniran said the Board is making efforts to conclude the exercise on time so that successful candidates could be quickly injected into the system, to join in the ongoing reforms of the basic education system in the state.
