his statement had become necessary to dispel online comments that the CBT has been jettisoned as recruitment has already been done.

Olaopa dismissed these comments as "frivolous and unfounded." He confirmed that measures are in place for the CBT, with the only remaining step being the adequate provision of resources to support the process. He stated that the test would proceed once the necessary resources are available.

Dismissing the comments as frivolous and unfounded, Olaopa said that measures had been put in place for the CBT to be conducted for the shortlisted candidates.

Further clarification from Olaopa revealed that the Commission had conducted interviews for individuals with qualifications in science, technical, vocational subjects, mathematics, and engineering. This was in response to a request from the Federal Ministry of Education, which urgently needed teachers in these fields for Federal Unity Schools. Olaopa emphasized that this interview process has not jeopardized the planned CBT and urged candidates to remain calm and await official communication.

what is left is the adequate provision of resources to support the process.
