NUT Cautions Teachers Against Rejecting Rural Area Posting

The Oyo State Government has approved the appointment of a member of the Nigeria Union of Teachers who would serve on the board of Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).

Dr. Nureni Adeniran
who was speaking while playing host to members of the state Executive Council of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) led by the Chairman of the union, Comrade Samson Adedoyin, also assured teachers that Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration was ensuring they receive their reward here on earth and not only in heaven.

The new appointee, Comrade Oladimeji Raji who has served in the Oyo State teaching service for 30 years is the current Treasurer of the Nigeria Union of Teachers.

Comrade Raji, according to the Executive Chairman, has been committed to the welfare of teachers and serves at Progressive Day School II, Aladorin, Ibadan.

Dr. Adeniran disclosed that the Oyo State Government intended to carry teachers in the state along in the scheme of things at the board especially in the execution of educational policies and programmes of the state government, through the appointment of one of them.

Adeniran said the appointment was borne out of the administration’s commitment to the welfare of teachers, assuring teachers in the state that SUBEB, under his watch, would not stop being teachers’ friendly.

He added that teachers’ interests would not be compromised at all, even as he said that they knew the best way to address their problems since some of them were once teachers.

He said the board would not hesitate to discipline erring teachers who refuse to adhere to the rules of service, adding that, the administration was working on modalities to recruit new teachers in the basic education sector.

Dr. Adeniran however assured the leadership of NUT that the board had listed some of the challenges facing teachers in the state, and would immediately swing into action.

Stop Panic Buying, Fuel Subsidy Removal Not Immediate – Tinubu

Why I Stopped Using Social Media - Tinubu
President Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday assured Nigerians that the removal of subsidy would not be immediate and that they should stop panic buying of petroleum.

The president’s position was stated by the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Media Centre.

In a statement, the centre urged the public to relax panic-buying that has ensued as a result of his speech.

The statement explained the development is neither new nor an action of his new administration.

The Tweet reads: “The public is advised to note that President Bola Tinubu’s declaration that “subsidy is gone” is neither a new development nor an action of his new administration.

“He was merely communicating the status quo, considering that the previous administration’s budget for fuel subsidy was planned and approved to last for only the first half of the year.

“Effectively, this means that by the end of June, the Federal Government will be without funds to continue the subsidy regime, translating to its termination.

“The panic-buying that has ensued as a result of the communication is needless; it will not take immediate effect.

“Furthermore, President Tinubu was clear about his plans to re-channel the funds previously devoted to the payment of subsidies into better investments that will cushion the effects of the removal on the general public, especially the poor of the poor. This includes but is not limited to investments in public infrastructure, education, healthcare and jobs that will materially improve the lives of millions of Nigerians and increase their earning potential.”
