After crying out for help, the Federal government has agreed to Pay Salaries Of Private School Teachers Owed During The Lockdown which started in March.
This was made known by the President of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, Yomi Otubela.
A number of private school teachers have come out to cry for help as they have not been paid by their management since March when schools were shut down due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Theschool management insists they cannot pay salaries since they have also not made money by way of school fees.
Speaking on TVC on Monday morning, July 13, Otubela said the association forwarded a proposal to the Economic Sustainability Committee headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, for the government to pay the salaries of the private school owners and that an approval has been granted to the proposal by the Federal Executive Council.
”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.
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.
