Fayemi names two new general tutors

The appointment of new Tutors-General (TG) into the State Teaching Service Commission has been given the governor of Ekiti State, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi’s, approval.

The Tutors-General are for the two senatorial districts of Ekiti, North and South, where two officials recently retired.

According to the appointment, Mrs. Adesola Ogunkorode will serve as the tutor-general for Ekiti North and Mrs. Omowumi Adewumi will serve as the tutor-general for Ekiti South.

Prior to their appointments, Ogunkorode and Adewumi held the positions of Director of the Planning, Research, and Statistics Department (DPR&S) of TESCOM and Principal of Ijanmodu Grammar School, Ijan-Ekiti, respectively.

The Chairman of the Teaching Service Commission, Mrs. Fola Richie Adewusi, congratulated the new hires and advised them to be prepared for the difficulties that lie ahead in this position of greater responsibility.

She tasked them with keeping up with the current administration’s agenda for educational development and values orientation.

She stressed that their promotion was consistent with previous performance, seniority, and the State Civil Service Transformation Strategy’s premise of merit-based appointment.

Finally, she thanked the two Tutors-General who just retired, Mrs. Rhoda Ojo and Mr. Kehinde Isinkaye, on behalf of the Commission.

The new TG Mrs. Adewumi thanked the State Governor in her remarks for giving her the chance to work as Director DPR&S at TSC and for promoting her to the position of TG for the Ekiti South senatorial district.

She stated that the appointment is a call to action, requiring greater effort than before. As she was being thorough about the Governor’s prior directive to sanitize the DPR & S, she added, “We can only receive what the Lord offers but we can’t belittle hard work and attention to duty.”

She counseled educators to set an example, exert effort in carrying out their responsibilities honestly to justify the pay they were receiving, and show loyalty to the ruling party.
