The Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has nullified the employment of 1,500 teachers citing irregularity in the recruitment process.

However, in a passionate appeal by the affected teachers, on Monday, led by one Mr Owoyemi Abdulwasiu during a press conference held at Correspondent Chapel in Osogbo, urged the Governor to exercise restraint in disengaging them on the passionate ground.
Owoyemi said the sack will throw the 1,500 teachers back into the unemployment market and shatter their family livelihoods. He asked the governor to consider the value chain effect the sack would cause on the families of the teachers and society.
As of the time of filling the report, the state government is yet to respond officially to the sack of the teachers.
