The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Secondary School Teachers, Mr Olusegun Adediran, has urged the Osun State Government to employ more qualified teachers to teach in government-owned secondary schools in the state.

Adediran said this in an interview with our correspondent in Osogbo on the sidelines of programme organised by the union to mark the 2018 World Teachers Day.

The union leader said that some teachers had retired from schools and that new ones should be employed to fill the vacancies left behind but he advised that only qualified teachers should be engaged.
