Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun, North Central representative on the Board of Trustees of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), has commended the Kwara State Government for the successful completion of a landmark recruitment exercise involving 1,800 teachers, 200 security personnel, and 100 non-teaching staff under the State’s Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM).
Speaking through his media team, Engr. Adeyemi described the recruitment process as a historic achievement and a shining example of transparency, merit, and commitment to excellence in public sector hiring. The announcement follows the Kwara State Government’s Q1 2025 Inter-Ministerial Press Briefing held on April 30, where the TESCOM Chairman, Mallam Bello Tauheed Abubakar, expressed appreciation to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his approval and support of the exercise.
“This is a significant milestone for Kwara State,” Engr. Adeyemi said. “I commend His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for his visionary leadership and for upholding the principles of meritocracy in this large-scale recruitment. I also applaud the Chairman of TESCOM and all stakeholders involved in the transparent and professional conduct of the process.”
He noted that the inclusion of drug testing for teachers further demonstrates the state’s bold commitment to quality education and the welfare of students. “The introduction of mandatory drug testing is a commendable policy direction. It reflects the government’s seriousness about teacher integrity, student safety, and the larger goal of curbing substance abuse in our communities,” he added.
Posting letters and biometric capturing for successful applicants commenced today, May 2, 2025, signaling the beginning of a new chapter in strengthening Kwara’s educational and security infrastructure.
Engr. Adeyemi congratulated all successful applicants and urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them by delivering exemplary service in their respective roles.
“This recruitment is not only historic in scale but also in the standards it sets for others to follow. It is a win for good governance, a win for education, and a win for Kwara State,” he concluded.
