Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma has recently approved the recruitment of 6,030 teachers to bolster the state's primary and secondary school education system. These newly hired educators have already completed a rigorous six-week training program at the state-owned Ben Uwajimogu College of Education in Ihitte Uboma.
Hon Declan Emelumba, the Commissioner for Information, Public Orientation, and Strategy, revealed the significant news in Owerri on Wednesday. He emphasized that this recruitment drive is part of the state government's broader strategy to strengthen education in Imo State. Emelumba disclosed that the recruitment exercise aimed to fill existing vacancies and prevent any gaps in teaching and learning across the 27 local government areas of the state.
Emelumba highlighted that this is the first time in a long time that such a large number of teachers would be injected into the school system simultaneously. To underscore the governor's commitment to this initiative, he personally plans to address the new teachers at the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre in Owerri, set to take place tomorrow, Thursday, September 24th, 2026, by 10 am. Only those who have undergone the training at Ihitte Uboma will be permitted to attend this exclusive meeting.
