He made the disclosure while addressing members of the state branch of the National Parent-Teacher Association of Nigeria (NAPTAN) at the House of Chiefs, Parliament Building, Secretariat, Ibadan.

said he had approved the employment of additional 2,500 primary school teachers, stressing that 2,100 of them would be deployed to Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa zones, where they were most needed, while the remaining 400 would be for other zones.
The newly employed teachers, he said, would resume work during the next academic session scheduled to begin in September.
Governor Ajimobi also said with effect from the 2014/2015 academic session, primary one pupils in public schools in the state would enjoy free meal.
