And only educated people who possess knowledge and skills can drive our developmental initiatives.

7,600 New Kaduna Teachers Wait For Salary, Postings 8 Months After Employment

Secondary school teachers employed by Kaduna State Governnent on July 19, 2021, and posted on May 17, 2022 are yet to receive their first salary, according to investigations by Dateline Nigeria.

This paper had reported how the new teachers spent 10 months with neither posting nor salary, with many of them expressing uncertainty over their fate.

“When we received our postings after 10 months of waiting, we were hopeful that at least we will start getting salary because many of us had resigned from our previous jobs to take up this one,” Ayuba Tanko, told Dateline Nigeria on Friday. Ayuba, a resident of Sabon Tasha in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, was posted to a community in Kubau LG, a distance of over 100km.

“You will also recall that when we were eventually posted to our various places of primary assignment, some said they wouldn’t be able to report for duty because they were posted to far locations, coupled with the issue of insecurity in parts of the state.

“But many of us took up the challenge despite the distance. Now we are stranded because we did not receive any allowance to go to our duty posts, we were not given any allowance to sort out accommodation issues. Worse still, we are yet to receive a dime from government.,” he added.

Ladi Makeri, who also spoke to Dateline Nigeria alongside Ayuba, called on the government to do some urgently to help them settle down and face the task at hand.

“I want the government to use this period of holiday and pay us our entitlements. Apart from taking care of our transportation to our duty posts and feeding, I personally had to borrow money to rent a place to stay because I don’t know anybody in my new station.

“Honestly, even those who were lucky to have been posted in their own local governments may find it difficult to adjust because they will also need transportation money to and from work,” she said.

All efforts to contact Kaduna State Teachers Service Board (KTSB) not successful.
