Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has announced that his administration intends to employ a minimum of 5,000 teachers to address the shortage in primary and secondary schools.
In his inaugural speech at the Umuahia Township Stadium on Monday, Otti disclosed his administration’s plan to employ at least 5,000 teachers to address the shortage in primary and secondary schools. He stated that this was part of his administration’s commitment to rebuilding the school system, which would produce quality students that would be relevant to the needs of modern society.
The governor also noted that he would work with his team and relevant stakeholders within the next month to design an appropriate framework for the recruitment process. The governor emphasized that young graduates in education, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as those willing to serve in rural communities, would be given priority.

It must also be stated that under our government, teachers shall never be shabbily treated as reportedly had been the custom in the past.

“The paucity of infrastructure in our educational system shall be addressed stridently.”

Meanwhile, Otti has also declared a state of emergency on refuse disposal and waste management in Umuahia and Aba, the commercial nerve centre of the state. He emphasized that a healthy urban environment would be a top priority for his government and has directed the State Environmental Protection Agency to evacuate all refuse heaps within the two cities.

The governor has also announced that his administration will commence the payment of May salaries and pensions to all civil servants and retirees in the next few days.

“There shall be no more distinction between the so-called ‘core’ and ‘non-core’ civil servants in the state.

“From June, all salary and pension obligations of the state would be settled by the 28th of every month.

My commitment during my campaigns to pay off all outstanding salary and pension arrears remains sacrosanct.

“Within the next one week, I shall set up appropriate mechanisms to ensure that all legitimate employees and retirees are identified and paid their due entitlements,” Otti said.

Governor Otti emerged victorious in the March 18 governorship election under the banner of the Labour Party.

Correct move....more grace Gov.

I pray you continue this good development especially recruitment. I don't want to hear that you abandoned it

What will they eat in the morning?

F

My Land my joy, carry on Sir. We at nkpo/ikwere village ABA..PH road are With you.

This is what I'm talking about Abia is the luckiest State in this election. I wish them luck

Keep your plans to your chest and give us action. Let the recruiting start immediately.

If a country must work, then everyone of age must be working... I'm yet to see a state governor that will make farming attractive and pay for it as a full time job.... Everybody go jst dey recruit teachers... Now you'll see people that ran away from teaching job during Nysc getting dis opportunities and slots...

the problem is not recruiting or not

the real issue is is there a concrete failproof plan to continuously pay them
not after first 6 month salaray, they will be unable to pay them going forward

No issues baba

Action Governor.

Otti has clearly hit the floor running. Quite unlike some people we know...

Misplaced priority

prof politics

Soludo hs set alot of pace

Alright

My commitment during my campaigns to pay off all outstanding salary and pension arrears remains sacrosanct

Otti ndi Abia. You are doing well sir

I hope there is money to pay them?

Please someone close to Alex Otti should remind him of the corpers serving in Abia Abia doesn't pay corps members which is very bad. Doing that alone will get him massive support from the youths both Abians and non Abians

Misplaced priority

Explain more...

This is how governance start, well prepared not a tired old man just open his mouth wide ''subsidy is over'' without any pin on ground or any measure, Abia is about to compete with brighter states in Nigeria

Ahhh...

I dont know if Abia is owing teachers ooo but please instead of news employees, Baba use the money pay old salaries with pensioners too na

He should first of all clear the backlog of salaries before talking of engaging new ones.

And you have father at home?...

Do you know the implications of what Otti tends to do?

Have you bothered to ask the implications of this move?
What are the cost implications?
What are the revenue sources?
What are the potential opportunities to drive this cost?

Na you be the mad man. You dey do kabakaba anyhow...
