Primary school teachers appeals to kogi state Govt. for non-payment of salaries



Over 7,000 teachers in public primary and secondary schools in Kogi State have appealed to kogi state govt. to look into the issue of non-payment of their salary for the past 8 to 39 months.

The appeal was contained in a communique issued at the end an emergency meeting of the Basic Education Staff Association of Nigeria (BASAN) held in Lokoja on Monday .

The group traced the teachers plight to the staff screening exercise the government embarked upon since 2016 , lamenting that the affected teachers had been begging to feed themselves and family members.

The communique signed by Mr Onotu Yahaya and Mr Mohammed Sule, Acting Chairman and Secretary of the Kogi State chapter of BASAN also bemoaned the refusal of the state government to fully implement the N18,000 minimum wage to teachers in the basic education sector.

Onotu and Sule stated that their counterparts in the senior secondary school cadre and other state government staff had started enjoying the N18,000 minimum wage since Dec. 2011 , wondering why t
eaching and none-teaching staff at the basic education sector were not being fully paid.

The communique urged the government to put a stop to the payment of 35 -50 per cent salary to its members , insisting that they deserve full payment of salary like other workers in the state.

” Several of the basic education staff retirees are yet to access their monthly pensions besides non-payment of their gratuity ,” the statement said.

It also raised concern over the poor state of basic infrastructures in schools across the state, warning that the development was an impediment in meeting the desired productive curriculum delivery.

” We are passionately appealing to Govt. for intervention on the above inflammatory issues for the ‘change’ mantra of the next level and change of narrative of this critical sector of education,” the communique added.

Politicians will never change.

Sometimes people throw comments online like, " Why did you guys vote him for a second term ' ?

That's a funny angle of mindset. How many times have people's votes counted in Nigeria ?
Perhaps only Yaradua and Goodluck Jonathan, plus OBJ first term were free elections.

Why should they change when the people, from among whom they emerge, don't change?

Will their votes count ?

Stop blaming the voters every time.

I really don't get how you owe someone money and you still find the peace to sleep. Talk more when it's not one person. Haba kwanu!

Kogi is finished

So who should be blamed every time

If Bello is voted back or allowed to rig himself into office it will show how unwise Kogi people are.

If d APC and dis insensitive govt succeed in rigging back Bello into office, den it is clear their intentions for Nigerians are evil as seen so far

It is only in Nigeria that we hear that workers are being owned,I mean dont these governors read the Bible,if they do,i think,they should have come across where it is written that a labourer deserves his wage,But here in Nigeria we hear of government owe people as much as eight months,and we see it as Normal,How can you owe people who has childern to feed,train in school,pay house rent and other bills,Yet every Month,you collect your own,That is one reason why God must punish you people,cos you guys are heartless

I can bet you some of them would collect as low as 500 to vote him

Wait, didnt I hear Bello has cleared all salary arrears of workers in that state, or what's happening?! This is so serious o.
