The Bayelsa State Government has officially canceled the recently conducted teachers’ recruitment exercise due to violations of the Service Rule and a failure to adhere to the State Executive Council’s directive. The exercise was meant to employ 995 teachers based on a verified needs assessment, but the process reportedly deviated from this mandate.
Governor Douye Diri has now constituted a high-powered committee to oversee a fresh recruitment process. Candidates who had progressed to the documentation stage in the canceled exercise will be given priority consideration, provided they fit into the needs assessment criteria. The committee, chaired by Hon. Irorodamie Komonibo, includes government officials and senior administrators.
This latest decision has generated significant public interest, especially from applicants who had participated in the previous recruitment process. The government has assured that the new exercise will be conducted transparently. Further details regarding the fresh recruitment will be announced soon.
