The Chairman of the Ogun State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), Apostle ’Biodun Sanyaolu, has called on teaching and non-teaching unions and associations in the State to foster mutual understanding and cooperation with the Commission in the collective drive to strengthen the education sector in the state
Apostle Sanyaolu made the appeal in Abeokuta during a meeting with Principals-General and leaders of the All Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS), Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU).
Describing the groups as critical stakeholders, the TESCOM Chairman stressed that their support and collaboration were essential for the successful implementation of policies that would advance teaching and learning in secondary schools across the State.
He disclosed that the Commission had introduced initiatives designed to enhance efficiency, fairness and transparency in its operations, with the overall aim of boosting staff morale and ensuring quality service delivery.
On the deployment of newly inducted Principals and Vice Principals, Apostle Sanyaolu assured that postings would strictly reflect existing vacancies, seniority and merit, based on the outcome of the last screening exercise.
He further explained that efforts are ongoing to ensure equitable distribution of teachers across schools, with proper attention to teacher-student ratios, subject requirements, and the creation of a conducive teaching and learning environment.
While cautioning against attempts to blackmail the Commission through social media, Sanyaolu urged union leaders and members to present grievances through appropriate channels, in line with civil service procedures, encouraging them to take advantage of TESCOM’s whistleblower scheme in addressing genuine concerns.
Responding on behalf of their unions, President ANCOPSS, Mr. Adeniyi Adekoya; Chairman ASUSS, Comrade Felix Agbesanwa, his counterpart in NASU, Comrade Olumide Oduneye; and Deputy State Chairman NUT, Comrade Olufemi Okulalu, commended TESCOM for prioritising the welfare of teaching and non- teaching staff, assuring of their continued collaboration with the Commission in the interest of members.
