Primary school teachers in Adamawa State have complained of not having been promoted for the past thirteen years.
The state chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Comrade Rodney Nathan, made the complaint to wild acknowledgment by the affected teachers during the World Teachers Day celebration at the Mahmud Ribadu Square, Yola, on Saturday.
The NUT chairman also said that for the same period of 13 years, no leave transport grant and annual increment was effected.
He said the development had seriously affected the morale of teachers, and education delivery would be endangered if the trend is not halted.
He stressed, “We need to be motivated. Not giving teachers their due is a way of driving them out of the profession. Government must avoid omissions that could cause a situation in which some day, pupils will go into their classrooms and not find teachers.”
