Following the delay by the President’s administration, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), in granting assent to the bill on the new retirement age for teachers, the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) held prayer sessions in Abuja on Tuesday.
The Nigerian teachers’ apex body also appealed for the federal and state governments to execute the N30,000 minimum pay and all other welfare packages authorized for Nigerian teachers.
The following prayer points were detailed during the union’s Abuja prayer session, which was led by Khalid Aliyu and Adebayo Osijo.
“Pray for the presidential assent to be granted to the bill on the retirement age of teachers at 65; Pray for the Federal and State Government to implement the N30,000 minimum wage and the consequential adjustments for both junior and senior workers at all levels in the states awaiting its implementation.
“Pray for the implementation of all the welfare package approved for the Nigerian teachers by President Muhammadu Buhari; pray for greater attention to the welfare of our teachers e.g payment of salaries and promotion for primary and secondary school teachers; Pray that the Federal Government does not increase the pump price of the Premium Motor Spirit in the country.”
