Hon. Jones said that revamping of the education sector by recruiting more Teachers should be lauded by meaning Kogites, saying that a thorough process that took place leading to the employment that produced them as Teachers.

The Commissioner urged the Teachers to put in their best to justify the employment, pointing out that out of 17,000 applicants, 7,000 who were shortlisted for aptitude test, with those who scored 40 percent made to sit for the oral interview.

According to Wemi Jones, their emergence was a result of divine mercy of God and not because of godfatherism.
