Ike-Ene expressed displeasure as many governors in various states owe teachers in both primary and secondary schools months of unpaid salary arrears.

“Many of these teaching staff have complained over inadequacy and inability of the state to disburse salaries in time, which is likely due to the current economic conditions in the country.

It was recorded that “some state governments owe primary school teachers a backlog of salaries ranging from four to eighteen months”, he added amidst the situation, he salutes state governors who had been up and doing towards paying teachers salaries as when due.

Talking about the progress of the new salary scale, the secretary general said the union and Federal Government were working tirelessly towards the successful implementation of the policy.
