Delta Government has approved the recruitment of no fewer than 1,500 teachers in core subject areas into the Unified Teaching Service of the state in order to checkmate shortage.
The Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu, stated this while briefing journalists in Asaba on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Tuesday.
Aniagwu said the exercise became necessary in order to fill in vacancies created as a result of retirement, death and establishment of new schools across the state.

Aniagwu explained that the construction of the perimeter road at the Asaba Airport was part of government’s responsibility in the airport concession agreement.
