The World Teacher’s day celebration in Osun State, “The state of the virtuous”, was marked in low key with prayer sessions instead of the usual parade at the NUT House in Osogbo, the state’s capital.
The NUT Chairman for the state, Mr. Amudah Wakeel, said the decision was taken as a result of the challenges Nigeria was struggling with, especially the economic recession.
In a speech he delivered, he called on the Federal Government to consider the teachers’ demand for a raise in their retirement age from 60 to 65 years.
Furthermore, he stated some of the problems facing teachers in the state to include payment of half salary, but gave the assurance that they would remain committed to their jobs.
Osun State Deputy Governor in person of Titi Laoye-Tomori urged the teachers to rededicate themselves to impacting quality knowledge in the children.
She noted that whatever they teach would reflect on the wards and reassured them of the state government’s commitment to their welfare.
Hopefully and prayerfully there would be “CHANGE”. I pray there is — soonest.
