The Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over what it described as his political will to increase teachers salary scale.
President Buhari while commemorating World Teachers Day approved salary scale of teachers to address challenges confronting the teaching profession in the country.
National coordinator of the BCO, Mallam Gidado Ibrahim, who made the commendation in Abuja yesterday while speaking with journalists at his office in Abuja on the development, said “that singular act by the president, which will go a long way in addressing issues that confront teachers, will engrave his name on the marble of history as a leader who felt the pulse of his people.
“The nod given toTertiary Education Fund (TETFUND) fund teaching practice in Universities and Colleges of Education and special salary scale for teachers in basic and secondary schools, including provisions for rural posting allowance, is a boost to the teaching profession in Nigeria.”
Ibrahim noted that the special teacher pension scheme approved by the president will also work in no small measure towards restoring the lost glory of the teaching profession.
Ibrahim also assured that President Buhari will do more in the areas of security, education, health and agriculture sectors before his tenure expires in 2023.
He reiterated the commitment of the new BCO leadership towards ensuring a levelled playing ground for everyone, urging members to work together collectively to better the image of the organization.
“The era of dictatorship and blackmail of members just to deny them access to what they suffered during the campaigns for the president is over. No act of assasination of character will be tolerated in the BCO henceforth as the organization under my leadership welcome carry everyone along,” Ibrahim added
