Oyo State Government Issues Ultimatum to "Floating" Teachers: Return to Schools or Forfeit Salaries

 


The Oyo State Government has issued a decisive directive to 202 teachers currently not reporting to their designated schools, warning that their salaries will be withheld if they fail to comply immediately. These teachers, described as "floating," were not absorbed into the Post-Primary Schools Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) but have continued to receive remuneration despite their absence from their original postings under the Local Government Universal Basic Education Authorities (LGUBEAs) or the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB).


The stern warning was delivered by Dr. Nureni Adeniran, the Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), during a meeting with Education Secretaries held in Ibadan. Dr. Adeniran underscored the disruptive impact of these teachers' continued absence on the board's operational efficiency, reiterating that their appointments remain unregularized due to their refusal to report for duty.


According to Dr. Adeniran, Governor Seyi Makinde had, as far back as 2022, directed these non-absorbed teachers to return to OYOSUBEB. He emphasized that defying this  order constitutes gross misconduct. 


The OYOSUBEB Chairman has mandated the immediate compilation of the names and respective local government areas of the 202 affected teachers to ensure prompt enforcement of the directive. While some of the teachers reportedly did not meet the requirements for transfer to TESCOM, others were affected by a lack of vacancies within the commission.

The Tree That Became a Forest: The Legend of the Pirangi Cashew

Image
In the coastal town of Pirangi do Norte, Brazil , stands a biological marvel that defies the traditional definition of a tree. To the uninitiated observer, it looks like a dense, sprawling park or a small forest. In reality, the Pirangi Cashew Tree ( Cajueiro de Pirangi ) is a single organism that has spent over a century conquering the landscape, one branch at a time. A Genetic Freak of Nature Most cashew trees grow upward, reaching a modest height and staying within a predictable canopy. The Pirangi Cashew is different. It owes its record-breaking status to two rare genetic mutations that turned it into a self-replicating empire: Horizontal Ambition: Instead of growing toward the sky, the tree’s branches grow sideways. Eventually, their own weight forces them to bow toward the earth. The "Walking" Effect: When these lateral branches touch the soil, they don't just rest; they take root. These "secondary roots" then thicken into new trunks, creating a massive, ...

Verse of the Day

Image
  1 Corinthians 16:14 offers a simple but profound instruction: “Let all that you do be done in love.” Love is meant to be the foundation and motivation behind every action we take. It shapes how we speak, how we serve, how we respond to others, and even how we handle conflict. When love guides our actions, our lives begin to reflect the heart of God. Living this way is not always easy. It requires patience, humility, forgiveness, and compassion. Yet love has the power to transform ordinary actions into meaningful expressions of grace. A kind word, a helping hand, or a patient response can become a reflection of God’s love working through us. When love leads our decisions, our lives become a quiet testimony of Christ’s presence within us. Prayer Heavenly Father, teach me to let love guide everything I do. Help me to speak with kindness, act with compassion, and treat others with patience and grace. When I am tempted to respond with anger or selfishness, remind me of Your love for ...

Verse of the Day

Image
These words were spoken to the Israelites at a moment of intense fear. Trapped between the Red Sea and an approaching enemy, they saw no way out. Yet God’s instruction was unexpected: be still. This verse reminds us that there are times when the most powerful act of faith is not striving or defending ourselves, but trusting God to act on our behalf. “The Lord shall fight for you” shifts the burden from our shoulders to God’s. It acknowledges that some battles are too heavy, too complex, or too overwhelming for us to handle alone. God does not always ask us to understand how He will intervene—He asks us to trust that He will. Holding our peace does not mean ignoring problems; it means refusing to let fear, panic, or anger control our hearts. This verse invites us into rest in the middle of pressure. When we stop fighting in our own strength and place our confidence in God, we make room for His power to work. He is not distant or passive; He is actively involved, defending, protecting,...
