President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Abuja, decried the current situation in which
teachers go without being paid their salaries for many months in some states of
the federation.
Speaking after receiving a briefing from the
Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Buhari urged the three
tiers of government to be more mindful of their responsibility to pay teachers
their salaries on time.
While noting that the non-payment of teachers
had resulted in long-running strikes in some states, Buhari declared that the
worst harm State Governments could cause their citizens, was to deny them good
education.
The Permanent Secretary, Dr MacJohn
Nwaobiala, had earlier briefed the President on the current activities of the
Federal Ministry of Education, as well as its challenges, including inadequate
funding and insecurity in some parts of the country.
