The Abia State Government, through the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, has released the official posting letters for all successful applicants in the 2025 Teachers Recruitment Exercise.
In a press statement dated July 28, 2025, the Honourable Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Elder Goodluck Ubochi, stated that all applicants are expected to report to their place of assignment on or before September 1, 2025.
He explained that “postings outside applicants’ Local Government Area of residence or origin were necessitated as the schools in most applicants’ LGA of residence or origin could not accommodate the number of persons resident or originating from them.”
The Ministry clarified that while applicants can apply for reposting if their current placement poses serious challenges, such requests are not guaranteed.
“Applicants who however feel that their place of posting poses severe challenges should call the Ministry’s help lines 0913444706 or 09135007067, or use the complaint link on their dashboard to apply for reposting consideration stating clearly the challenges the posting poses to them,” the statement added.
The government reminded all newly recruited teachers that “application for reposting does not guarantee reposting,” noting that the offer of appointment clearly stated that candidates are subject to posting or transfer anywhere in Abia State in line with the board’s interest.
