Suru Avoseh, a member, Lagos State Civil Service Commission, has said no fewer than 50,000 applicants applied for one thousand vacant teaching jobs announced by the state government in 2019.
Mr Avoseh made this known during the New Year party organised by the Badagry Women Development Forum on Sunday in Badagry.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Lagos State Government had on November 11 announced the plans to employ one thousand teachers into the public secondary schools across the state.
Mr Avoseh said some of the applicants that qualified for the job had been invited for the examination.
“After the examination, those that passed and meet up with the standard will be called for oral interviews.
“At present, some of the applicants who succeeded in the examination have started receiving text messages through their phone numbers.
“It is certain that not everybody that applied for the job will be employed, and not all that passed the examination will be given employment,” the commission member said.
He said that the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and Civil Service Commission would soon start to employ people in the state.
