12 States Delay Implementation of N30,000 Minimum Wage for Teachers – Report

News

Twelve states in Nigeria have yet to implement the 2019 minimum wage of N30,000 for teachers, according to the National Union of Teachers (NUT). While some states have implemented the wage, primary school teachers in states such as Anambra, Bayelsa, Borno, Delta, and others remain excluded. The affected states where the wage is not fully applied to all teachers include Abia, Adamawa, Benue, Cross River, Gombe, Imo, and more.

In Zamfara, the Nigeria Labour Congress recently accused the state of paying teachers as little as N8,000 per month. Similar issues have been reported in Abia, where the government has failed to implement the minimum wage for teachers and other workers.

NUT President Titus Amba expressed concern over the delay, highlighting that four years after former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration approved special incentives for teachers, most have yet to be implemented. These incentives, aimed at improving teachers’ welfare, included special salary scales, pension schemes, low-cost housing, and education benefits for teachers’ children. Amba called on both federal and state governments to fully implement these measures to boost teachers’ morale and improve service delivery in the education sector.
