Teachers and employees of the State Education Management Board will now get their increased minimum wage, as approved by the Abia State Government. 

This was revealed in a statement released on Sunday in the state capital of Umuahia by Mr. Kenechukwu Nwosu, the Special Advisor to Governor Alex Otti on Basic and Secondary Education. 

He stated that the payment is a component of the Otti administration's continuous endeavors to improve the well-being of educators around the state.

“The government is committed to ensuring that all education personnel receive their entitlements promptly.

“We are making steady progress on processing leave allowances for SEMB staff and teachers.

“We are also arranging payments for teachers whose services were previously extended for five years but later discontinued due to system-related issues,” Nwosu said.

He gave Otti credit for putting the education sector first and for his unwavering dedication to the welfare of Abia State's educators.
