Arising from the withdrawal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by the Federal Government and the resultant increase in the price of the commodity, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) issued a strike notice which had elapsed and they were poised to embark on a strike billed to commence on Tuesday, the 3rd of October, 2023.

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.

What is happening?

Any UBE don receive and how much?
Senior secondary school own is higher than UBE.

Kindsoul55:

Rivers gov, Fubara assures civil servants of improved welfare
nationnewslead.com Jun 1, 2023 5:44 PM


Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, Thursday paid an unscheduled visit to the Rivers state secretariat where he promised improved welfare for civil servants in the state.

He assured that his administration would give priority attention to the welfare of civil servants in the state, a major area the Wike administration failed to address.

Addressing the workers, Fubara said his visit was to make an on-the-spot assessment of the state of the facilities at the Secretariat and to address the challenges with the intent of improving the productivity of workers.

The Rivers State secretariat has been in an advanced state of neglect through the administration of former Governor Nyesom Wike with essential facilities like water, and electricity hardly available.



This resulted in many civil servants avoiding going to work as the working environment was not anything near conducive.

But the governor pointed out that the major challenges in the secretariat include a lack of functional utilities particularly the supply of water and security pointing out that the state government had previously spent much money on water supply in the Secretariat, but there was no justification for the funds that were expended.

He called for an investigation into how the funds were utilized.

Governor Fubara also charged the Civil Servants to show commitment and dedication to their duties warning that indolence and nonchalant attitudes would not be condoned.



He accompanied by the Head of Rivers State Civil Service, Dr George Nweke and Permanent Secretaries in the state arrived at the state Secretariat Complex to the warm and enthusiastic welcome of visibly elated workers.

Earlier, he had held an inaugural meeting with the Head of Service and Permanent Secretaries at the Executive Council Chambers of Government House, with a charge to reorganize the state civil service for greater efficiency.


Briefing the press shortly after the meeting, the Head of Service, Dr George Nweke said the meeting provided an avenue for the Permanent Secretaries to intimate the governor on how to improve the civil service.

The Head of Service said the Permanent Secretaries assured the governor of their commitment to strengthening the state workforce through the effective mobilisation of workers.

“They applauded the governor for his charge, renewed hope and consideration for the welfare of Civil Servants in the state,” he stated.

Honestically:
To every beginning there's an end, and to every end there's a new beginning. Today marks a new beginning (new administration).

May the new Governor be concerned about the genuine interest of the people, be a humbled servant/leader, be concerned about the poor and how to reduce poverty and unemployment in the state, be concerned about the welfare of civil servants and pensioneers, be a listening leader, etc

Amen and so shall it be
