Please any update for those of us that wrote an appeal letter for transfer reposting?

The instruction was that you should go and resume at your school of posting pending when your appeal is granted.

If the promotion letter was released before now, it would help to dowse tension.

Let's not forget, they only implemented promotions which was long overdue. They are yet to effect salary increments to take care of the hardships faced by workers as a result of the removal of fuel subsidy and naira floatation. Let them not think that they can use this promotion to replace the salary increments. They should do the needful as no doubt, these recent policies have given them more money.

A good leader should not be insensitive to the plight of his people. The devastating impacts of fuel subsidy removal and naira devaluation on the citizenry is common knowledge. Prices of every goods and services have gone out of hand.

While we appreciate his excellency SIM, and thank him for promoting workers and implementing it immediately, something which his predecessors failed to do, he should be aware that the workers are still expecting palliative to cushion the negative effects of recent FG policies.

The discrepancy between the SSSB and UBEB in the payment of salary is very annoying. The two board should ensure they UNIFY the payment.

The UBE should rather come up to par. SSSB has nothing to unify with UBE. UBE and it's scattered way of doing things has always been notable.

That's what i am saying. UBEB should use the SSSB model as directed earlier by the governor, levle 12/6 and 12/7 instead of 12/3 and 12/4.

Rivers State Teachers' Salary Discrepancies

UBEB effected the promotion of staff in August and SSSB implemented theirs in September. It sparked a debate due to the discrepancies in remuneration. This note intends to help explain what is going on.

To simplify understanding, I'll use the salary grade of 2013 teachers to explain the confusion.

UBEB Teachers with B.Sc (8/3) were moved to (12/3) with a net pay of 108k. Teachers with B.Ed (8/4) were moved to (12/4) with a net pay of 112k.

Note that the above sum is for those who are subscribed to the contributory pension scheme. Those who didn't subscribe received 115k and 119k respectively. Anything other than the above amount received for the stated grade levels is classified under either of the following: *short payment*, *overpayment* or *omission*

SSSB teachers with B.Sc (8/3) were moved to (12/6) with a net pay of 120k. Teachers with B.Ed (8/4) were moved to (12/7) with a net pay of 124k.

Note that the above sum is for those who are subscribed to the contributory pension scheme. Those who didn't subscribe received 127k and 131k respectively. Anything other than the above amount received for the stated grade levels is classified under either of the following: *short payment*, *overpayment* or *omission*.

It's worth noting that each step in this grade level 12 has a salary difference of 4000 naira. 12/3 =108, 12/4 =112, 12/5= 116, 12/6= 120, 12/7=124.

The above can be verified from the payslips.

The two boards (UBEB and SSSB) should unify the promotion implementation in other to avoid a stand-off that could occur between teachers and board administrators. It's best if the steps used by SSSB are adopted by UBEB.

Current pay slip

The payslip posted previously by 001bumsa in page 800 shows that Level 8 step 4 received gross of N134,887.18. After TAX, PENSION, UNION DUES, NHF deduction, Net stands at N112,648.64.

The above indicate that payment made to senior section was based on level 8 step 6 for B.Sc, B.A, and HND holders, and level 8 step 7 for B.Ed holders.


This mean that the analysis of mela82 is not far from the truth.

That is truth. It will be harmonized may be by this month payment. As it stands now UBE are ahead of us with addition of about #35,000 in the month of August. While PPSB ahead of UBE with #12,000 in the month of September. #35,000 - #12,000 = #23,000. So UBE are up with about #23,000. I believed all will be harmonized, and the differences pay as arrears.

In all thanks be to God for the triple accelerated promotion. Kudos to our dear lovely governor for his excellent achievement within just 4 months in office, he is the best performing governor as far as am concern.

Last last the strike may not hold

Most labour fight is only benefiting the federal workers and hazardous to state workers. The last increment of minimum wages benefited the federal workers, and government. While I include government is that they achieved their aim by increasing taxation, and the cost of living move high (double) and state salary remain almost as it was before the minimum wage when comparing with the price of goods in the market both federal and state workers buy from.

In strike, they will drag us the state workers, once they achieve their aim, the state workers will be left behind, and cost of living will move higher.

Be warned!

flejnr2:

So the Media would not prob the subsidy they paid

But it turned out that it was not shared at that time but it was shared later on Friday 29th Oct!

NLC is just for FG workers, once fg and nlc agrees the state workers are on their own.No nlc at state levels but will always join FG workers on a strike. Nlc strike is useless to state workers because they gain nothing.
