Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i of Kaduna State has intervened to ensure that payment of arrears which local governments owe to about 8,500 new teachers out of 39,000 primary school teachers are paid this week.
In a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Communication on Saturday, Mr. Muyiwa Adekeye, the governor expressed disaffection with the local governments over non-payment of the affected workers that were employed in the second batch of recruitment.
“After briefings from the Ministry of Local Government and SUBEB, the state government has established that the 23 local government councils owe second-batch teachers about N1.8bn in payments for January to May 2019,” the statement noted.
