The Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has announced that it has resolved all outstanding salary payments owed to primary school teachers in the state.
In a statement released on Saturday in Jos, Mr. Richard Jonah, the Head of Public Relations for the board, revealed this development.
Jonah emphasized that the action aligns with Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s dedication to enhancing the welfare of all state workers.
”I am proud to report that as of today, no local government in the state is owing any outstanding salaries of our dedicated teachers.
”This milestone is the result of our unwavering commitment to prioritising the welfare of our hardworking educators, who play crucial roles in shaping the future of our children.
”This is not only a reflection of government’s dedication to ensuring prompt and timely compensation for our teachers, but a demonstration of government’s resolve to uphold the integrity of our educational system.
”Therefore, I call upon all teachers in the state to rededicate themselves to their noble profession and to work diligently towards ensuring that our learners in public primary schools are able to make up for the lost time caused by the recent strike,” he said.
Jonah further emphasized the government’s dedication to delivering quality education in the state by addressing the requirements of its teachers.
However, he cautioned that any teacher discovered to be deficient in any aspect, particularly those who undermine the vision of the current administration, would face appropriate consequences.
