The Edo state chapter of the State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB), on Monday, called for interested individuals to apply for employments, which were vacant in the education board, noting that the vacancies were only open to current staff of the Edo State Civil Service as well as those who registered in the ongoing Edo Jobs programme.

 A statement released from the Office of the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Godwin Obaseki, revealed that applicants interested in the appointments were to apply to the Office of the Interim Chairman, State Universal Basic Education Board, Benin City with 5 copies of their applications, which should contain a typewritten cover letter detailing sustainability for the position and curriculum vitae.

 It would be recalled that Edo State had earlier called for unemployed citizens of the state to register in the ongoing Edo Jobs initiative, which was established to collate biodata of unemployed people in the state and match them with jobs when available.

This was pursuant to Governor Godwin Obaseki’s promise to provide at least 200,000 jobs for unemployed citizens in the state.

The statement further revealed that the prospective applicants would still undergo written and oral interviews as well as computer proficiency test, while the applications would close by June 19 this year.

Meanwhile, interested applicants were requested to visit the SUBEB application website, www.bemis.edostate.gov.ng, for more information on the positions available.

In another development, Governor Obaseki on Monday, outlined part of his administration’s agenda to salvage forest resources from degradation, revealing that in addition to the GPS land imaging system commissioned in Benin four months ago, a firm had also been engaged to capture another 2000km.
 He made this known in Benin City during the 2017 World Environment Day with the theme “Connecting People to Nature”, which, he also noted, was the biggest annual environment event in the state, while calling on Edo citizens to acknowledge the importance of protecting the earth against abuse by mankind. 
In addition, the governor restated that a Forest Commission would be carved out of the Ministry of Environment to deal with issues related to forestry management, noting that that the cleanup process executed at Ring Road would be replicated clinically in other areas of Benin City, such as Oregbeni and Ekiosa markets. This, he explained, would help the state reclaim its aesthetic value and facilitate as well as justify making Edo an economic hub for investment to thrive. 
With the government already in talks to make the popular Ramat Park more lucrative,  a Green Square made up of  young  men and women  would also be set up to work with the forest  commission and plant trees with an annual government incentive of N500 per 10 trees, while an agency for Parks, Gardens and Cemeteries would be set up.  
Meanwhile, an environment expert, Giwa Bisirodupe, presenting a paper, called on the State government to restructure the forest laws for sustainable forest management, restoration and protection, even as he also enjoined the federal government to preserve her forests by planting at least 1,000,000 trees annually to increase her forest land area from the present 2% to 40 %.
