JUST IN: Private School Teachers salary to be paid by FG – Association

The President of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools in Nigeria, Yomi Otubela has revealed to the general public on Monday, 13th July 2020 that the Federal government has agreed upon dialogue to pay the salaries of Private School Teachers that are being owed by their school management and are in big distress since the lockdown started in March amidst the Covid19 pandemic.

As some school management insists they cannot pay salaries since they have also not made money by way of school fees since there is nothing being done so far in school, their employees have been on the receiving end of all the bankruptcy being faced as a result of the shut down of schools.

Otubela made this statement known while speaking on TVC News on the early hours of Monday, July 13, 2020. Otubela said the Association forwarded a proposal to the Economic Sustainability Committee headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, for the government to assist them by going out of their way and obligations to pay the salaries of some private school teachers in the country, and they are glad to announce that approval has been granted to the proposal by the Federal Executive Council for the implementation.

”We have written to the Federal government to understand that these teachers are teaching Nigerian children and that they need to keep them and their families together during the lockdown.

So the Federal government has listened to our request. We requested that the teachers salaries in private schools should be taken over by the government during the months of the lockdown. We also requested for a single digit loan for private schools to cushion the effect of the COVID19.

We requested for support for schools that have existing loans, that they (FG) should liase on our behalf with the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN and CBN will liase with commercial banks and other financial institutions to ensure that they give them soft landing in terms of moratorium to repay and deduction in the interest loan.

The Federal government has approved that they will take over the payment of teachers salaries.

The proposal was sent to the Economic Sustainability Committee headed by the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and it was approved by the Federal Executive Council.

We are already talking to them to know the modalities for the disbursement”.

He however pointed out that it is only private schools registered under its Association that will benefit from the Federal government’s bailout.

*in Paul's voice*


na audio ooo, oo nohhh

na audio ooo, noon

akant de red kperere

Believe this adminstration at your own peril.

FOOLISH leaders that couldn't give us palliative during lockdown... They even used IPPIS to reduce our salaries.


The two months free electricity tariffs, have they fulfilled it?

Unless they want to use this to loot more money sha...

Another audio call

Sanwo-Olu should do the same in Lagos

This and more palliative measures should have been put in place during the lockdown period. It seems before anything is taken serious by our public leaders, protests and begging must be involved. And if you look am well, the reason they probably intervened na because they are kinda involved, as na private schools their kids dey go

Ok

Benefit of paying tax, the only criteria for the assistance is your tax clearance. This is tax return, so, if you've not been paying your tax or your boss has not been paying on your behalf, you may not be considered

That is to say no hope for government owned schools to resume just yet.

Wow! This would be really nice! It's so sad we take Teachers for granted in this part of the world, they should be extremely valued. May God help all our hardworking teachers.


By the way, we have clearance sales for men's wears -50% discount off! Check my profile for pics and prices.

Not Audio payment, BaBu will make Video payment in which at the end of the day every BoneBeings like Hailers and Wailers would felt the impact.
BaBu/StarBoyz till 4023

That would be great

Lamba

Lol! I don't believe this news. Believe Nigeria government at your own risk.

Good move but the new clause sha....I hope FG does not use this to lot funds, proprietors are truthful, and the teachers are motivated.

They should also pay people whose businesses were affected by Covid-19

If this news is true, let the government liaise with the state ministry of education who has the records of all their private schools. Let the schools present their tax records. Because private schools have drivers, cleaners, security etc and they are paying tax to the government. For every one that pays tax from such school deserves the federal intervention.

See as FG dey scam person-baba....common road dem neva tarr am finish dem dey promise say dem wan pay private teacher salary. Most of the FG promises end up a myriad.....

Chai I don't even know if my registered... It hasn't been easy at all...

The North is ready to receive only 5% of the budgeted fund for this course...as for the remaining 95%,u know where our APC saints are taking it to nah
Heartless criminal minded looters!!!

Until I see it happened. Don't trust APC.
