Abia State Shortlists 9,371 For Teacher Recruitment

Abia State Shortlists 9,371 For Teacher Recruitment

The Abia State Government has announced that out of the 29,797 applications received in the ongoing online teachers’ recruitment exercise, 9,371 applicants have been shortlisted.

The Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, disclosed this while briefing journalists at the Government House on the outcome of this week’s Executive Council meeting, chaired by Governor Alex Otti. He stated that the shortlisted applicants would undergo a computer-based test as earlier announced.

 

“Those who pass the exams will be invited for an oral interview, after which the successful candidates will be hired. The recruitment process has been designed to be transparent and merit-based,” Kanu assured.

 

Prince Kanu also announced that Governor Otti has approved the upgrading of Umunnato General Hospital to a specialist hospital after undergoing retrofitting and re-equipping. This brings the number of specialist hospitals in the state to three.

“After this upgrade, which will include renovations and retrofitting, the facility will now be referred to as Abia Specialist Hospital, Umunnato. This ensures that each of the three senatorial zones in the state has a specialist hospital, aligning with the administration’s strategic infrastructural development agenda,” Kanu explained.

The commissioner further noted that the ongoing retrofitting of 200 primary health centres under the state’s “Project Ekwueme” initiative has reached 55 per cent completion, with about 10 centres ready for commissioning.

Additionally, he announced that work has commenced in most of the 67 primary health centres across the state under the World Bank Impact Project. He clarified that the World Bank initiative is distinct from “Project Ekwueme,” which aims to impact all 184 wards in Abia State.
