Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State has stated that teachers in the state are critical agents in the actualisation of the shared prosperity agenda of his administration.
Oyebanji stated this in Ado-Ekiti when he received the new leadership of the State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), led by its Chairman, Comrade Lawrence Egbeyemi, accompanied by the Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Kolapo Olusola.
According to a statement by Mr. Yinka Oyebode, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday, Oyebanji hailed the teachers for their remarkable contribution to the human capital development agenda of the administration, assuring them of more welfare packages.
The governor said their overall well-being would have a multiplier effect on the government’s drive for quality education for students in the State. While maintaining that the era of looking down on teachers as second-class citizens is over, the governor stated that his government would leave no stone unturned in bringing the state to the forefront of education in the country.
He further assured them that his administration would continue to prioritise their welfare, provide opportunities for professional growth, and create a supportive environment that would make their work more rewarding and impactful.
