The announcement was made on Tuesday through a notice issued by the Lagos State Teaching Service Commission.

The commission stated that the online recruitment portal would be accessible from Tuesday, July 1 until Monday, July 14, 2025.

According to the commission, this move is part of the government’s efforts to improve access to employment within the state’s education sector.

The portal will offer a fair, centralised platform for qualified individuals seeking to begin their careers in public education. The recruitment drive is specifically for positions at Grade Level 08.

A statement from the commission read, “The Lagos State Teaching Service Commission is set to reactivate its Recruitment Portal as a bold step towards improving access to employment opportunities, equity, and fairness. The job portal, which will be accessible for two weeks, is intended to provide a centralised platform where individuals can apply for State Teaching jobs at the entry level (GL 08) in their relevant fields.”

The commission further clarified that eligible candidates should possess a degree in Education or equivalent qualifications related to the subjects they intend to teach.

Applicants have been advised to visit the official portal at [https://tescomjobs.lagosstate.gov.ng](https://tescomjobs.lagosstate.gov.ng) during the application period.

In a signed notice by the Chairman of the Lagos State Teaching Service Commission, the body stressed its commitment to merit-based hiring processes.

“We are committed to a transparent and efficient recruitment system that upholds merit and ensures equal opportunity for all applicants,” the chairman wrote.

The portal reactivation has been welcomed by job seekers and education stakeholders across the state.

Many consider the initiative a timely intervention, especially in light of the state’s ongoing education reform programmes.

The government has consistently emphasised its plans to raise the standard of public education, and teacher recruitment plays a crucial role in that vision.

Speaking with a correspondent in Lagos, a school administrator, Mrs Grace Olatunji, praised the effort.

“This is a step in the right direction. Many of our schools still suffer from a shortage of qualified teachers. By opening the recruitment portal, the government is directly addressing that gap,” she said.

Prospective candidates have expressed optimism about the application window.

A recent graduate of the University of Lagos, David Adebayo, who plans to apply, said, “I’m glad the portal is back. I’ve been preparing my documents since last year, hoping this opportunity would come. Now that it’s here, I’ll do my best to secure a position.”

Lagos State remains one of the most populous and education-driven regions in Nigeria.

As the demand for quality education grows, initiatives like the Lagos teaching job portal reactivation are key to maintaining high teaching standards.

The state’s education sector has recently seen a push toward innovation, improved infrastructure, and teacher development programmes.

With the ongoing recruitment, the government hopes to strengthen the public school system with a new generation of qualified educators.

Interested candidates are urged to apply within the specified two-week window to avoid missing out.

The commission also advised applicants to ensure all details submitted are accurate and verifiable.

As the July 14 deadline approaches, the portal is expected to witness a high volume of traffic, highlighting the level of interest in the opportunity.

The commission promised real-time technical support would be available to assist users during the application period.
