Enugu Govt Moves To Clear 4 Years Leave Allowances of Teachers

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has approved the release of the sum of N1,912,187,753.82 for the payment of four-year accumulated leave allowances owed to teachers of public primary schools in the state.

This is contained in a statement issued on Monday by the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on mainstream media, Dan Nwomeh.

Nwomeh said the approval was in fulfilment of Governor Mbah’s promise to ensure that teachers got all their entitlements in line with his administration’s determination to enhance teachers’ welfare and boost productivity.

He noted that the 260 smart green school policy thrust of the current administration to give the children of the state a quality head start could only succeed if the teachers were well motivated to give their best.

Nwomeh recalled that Mbah had earlier approved the extension of full implementation of N30,000 minimum wage to primary school teachers and local government workers.
