Kebbi State Government has assured that a committee will be constituted to review salary scale of primary school teachers across the state.
Governor Nasir Idris Gwandu gave the assurance during an interactive session with primary school teachers, Education Secretaries, Local Government Chairmen, and other stakeholders in Birnin Kebbi.
The governor added that the committee would have 30 days to submit its report and assured the teachers that their complaints would be addressed and the minimum wage fully implemented.
He described teaching as part of his own constituency, adding that he would not allow anyone to cheat them.
“This government is for you because I am still one of you as a teacher. It is your votes and support that got me to this position.
“I advise you not to allow anyone to use you or divert your attention to derail the progress and achievements recorded so far,” he pleaded.
Idris also called on each Local Government Chairman to explain the status of primary school teachers’ salaries in their areas and state whether there had been an increment.
All the chairmen confirmed there had been an increment, but said it was not fully implemented.
The governor urged teachers to remain committed to their duties so that children can receive a sound education.
“I will also provide all primary school teachers with access to car, motorcycle and housing loans so that they can feel a sense of belonging,” he added.
The governor vowed not to disappoint them and assured them that he would continue to put smiles on their faces.
