Ebonyi Government Releases Recruitment Results for Secondary School Teachers, Schedules Interviews

The Ebonyi State Secondary Education Board has released the results of its teachers’ recruitment exercise and scheduled zone-based oral interviews from June 23 to July 18, 2025, requiring shortlisted candidates to present specified credentials in person at the SEB headquarters in Abakaliki.

The Ebonyi State Secondary Education Board (SEB) has formally released the results of the recent recruitment exercise aimed at filling vacant teaching positions in public secondary schools across the state.

In a statement issued on Friday in the state capital, Abakaliki, the Executive Chairperson of the SEB, Mrs. Lilian Nwankwo, disclosed that candidates who successfully passed the recruitment stage are now invited to participate in a mandatory oral interview phase, scheduled to run from Monday, June 23 through Friday, July 18, 2025.

According to the statement, the interviews will be conducted in-person at the SEB Headquarters located along Town Planning Road, Abakaliki, and will hold daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Interview Schedule by Educational Zone

The interview exercise will be conducted in phases, based on Ebonyi State’s three educational zones:

• Ebonyi North Zone: Monday, June 23 – Friday, June 27
• Ebonyi Central Zone: Monday, June 30 – Friday, July 4
• Ebonyi South Zone: Monday, July 7 – Friday, July 11

Mrs. Nwankwo urged all shortlisted candidates to visit the official SEB notice board at the headquarters to confirm their names, exact interview dates, and any specific requirements or groupings relevant to their zone.

Mandatory Documents for Interview

All candidates are required to arrive at the venue fully prepared with the originals and photocopies of the following credentials:

• Birth Certificate or sworn Age Declaration
• Certificate of Local Government of Origin
• Three (3) recent passport-sized photographs (with white background)
• Academic Qualifications, including:
  • First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC)
  • West African Senior School Certificate (WASSCE)
  • National Certificate in Education (NCE) or B.Ed.
  • Postgraduate qualifications (PGD, Master’s, or PhD, if applicable)
• TRCN Certificate or evidence of registration with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria
• NYSC Certificate (Discharge or Exemption)
• Bank Verification Number (BVN) printout from an accredited bank

To ensure efficiency during the verification process, candidates must organize their documents in two separate files:

• Photocopies in a standard paper file (plastic files are not permitted)

Failure to comply with these documentation guidelines, the board warned, may result in disqualification or delay in processing.

SEB Reaffirms Commitment to Transparency

Reiterating the board’s mission, Mrs. Nwankwo emphasized that the recruitment process remains strictly merit-based, with no tolerance for favoritism, lobbying, or unethical practices.

“We are committed to selecting only the most qualified, competent, and passionate individuals to teach in our public schools. Our goal is to uplift education standards in Ebonyi State and ensure students receive quality instruction,” she stated.

She also encouraged applicants to remain professional throughout the process and follow official communication channels for updates, rather than relying on unofficial social media posts or unverified information.
