The Chairman, Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), Mrs Elizabeth Olabisi Ariyo has emphasized that TESCOM has become a force to reckon with in tackling unforeseen circumstances and surmounting challenges that could face the organisation and the Government, especially as it affects the Lagos Teaching Service.
