- Governor gives teachers N50m, two brand new cars
The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele
Fayose, on Wednesday told President Muhammadu Buhari to stop blaming
past leaders, particularly ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, for the
current economic recession in the country.
He told Buhari in explicit terms that
what Nigerians voted for in 2015 was a change for better and that the
President should live by that motto, failing which Nigerians will
“change the change”.
Appreciating the teachers for
making Ekiti ranked first in the 2016 National Examinations
Council(NECO) in the country, Fayose donated a sum of N50 million to the
teachers in the state and two brand new Kia Rio cars to the best
teachers in both public primary and secondary schools.
Addressing the teachers at the Oluyemi
Kayode Stadium in Ado Ekiti in commemoration of the 2016 World Teachers’
Day, Fayose said : “ What we voted for in 2015 was plenty and boutiful
blessing and not economic recession. Today , Nigerian teachers can no
longer afford three-square meals a day.
“Nigerians are not begging for too much;
what they wanted is to change their fortunes for better. President
Buhari must stop complaining. He must address this recession that is
killing Nigerians”.
Fayose, who promised to increase the
incentive to a sum of N100 million in 2017, if the teachers can sustain
the feat, said his government won’t leave huge debt of outstanding
salary arrears as a debt burden for the succeeding government.
