Ogun State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) Chairman, Olalekan Ifede, has appointed five zonal education secretaries to address vacancies arising from the elevation of certain secretaries to the roles of principals and vice principals in secondary schools.
News About Nigeria gathered that the swearing-in ceremony, which took place at the TESCOM conference room in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, underscores the importance of enhancing management capacity and ensuring balanced representation in each zone of the state.
Chairman Ifede charged the newly appointed secretaries to be diligent and consider themselves as the commission’s representatives in their respective zones.
