The Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Dr. Nureni Adeniran, disclosed this during the presentation of promotion letters to the teachers in Ibadan, the state capital.

He said the promotion of the teachers was part of measures by the state government to boost the standard of education in the state.
