Details: Only Pry School Teachers In 5 LGs In Ogun Yet To Get Last Month’s Salary

Primary school teachers in five (5) out of twenty (20) local governments in Ogun State are yet to get last month’s salary.

SocietyNow.Ng gathered that this is in the face of claims that all other staffers of the affected local government areas have received their salary for the same month, March 2022. And Primary school teachers in other councils have also gotten their salary for the same month.

The added revelation available to SocietyNow.Ng revealed that no explanation has been given to the affected primary school teachers by either the authority of the local governments where they serve or the state government.

Among the local Governments affected are Obafemi Owode, Yewa North (Ayetoro), and Odeda.

SocietyNow.Ng gathered the official arrangement is that primary school teachers’ salaries are deducted from the Local Government allocation with the state most times claiming to supplement it.

The state government – like in other places – controls the allocation.

“The interesting thing is that except for the primary school teachers in these local government areas, all state workers, local government workers, and even primary school teachers in other councils in Ogun state have collected salaries for last month (March). And there is no explanation why the affected primary school teachers have not received theirs, imagine a scenario where a couple is caught in this situation. It is really sad” SocietyNow.Ng gathered.

The councils where the affected teachers operate are labeled “Local areas.”

“And those are areas where ordinarily teachers should be given priority because of the rigors of commuting and extra efforts in dealing with wards in such localities” SocietyNow.Ng gathered.
