Governor Alex Otti of Abia state has approved the sum of one billion naira special allowances to Abia teachers for the month of October.
Governor Otti gave the approval on Monday during his Teacher’s Day speech delivered at the Umuahia, Abia state.
In his words: “As part of our commitment to the welfare of Abia teachers, I have given approval for the payment of N1b special allowance to our hardworking teachers this October. This amount which shall be shared equally will be termed “Teachers’ Appreciation Allowance” and would be paid from today”.
In the governor’s speech titled Through The Mountain Of Excellence, he expressed appreciation for the work teachers do in society.
“Beyond what you taught directly in the classrooms, we learnt much more about life through your sense of contentment, the force of personal example and unwavering commitment to the good of the community.
“By refusing the entrapment of greed, you demonstrated that one does not need to have it all to live with purpose and honour. You treasured the purity of your name much more than riches because you were conscious of what truly matters. It is instructive that years after we left the conventional classrooms, we continue to remember many of you with great sentiments of affection and admiration.
“You remain the heroes and sages whose will and wisdom offered us the compass to navigate the complex sea of life. Our debt of gratitude to you shall remain inexhaustible; at any rate, in honour of your mindful investment in us, we shall continue to carry forward the torch of diligence and excellence in our different endeavours and calling. Governor Otti said.
