Labour Party (LP) candidate for Saturday’s governorship election in Bayelsa, Mr Udengs Eradiri, has said he is confident of victory during the poll despite the decamping of some of the leaders of his party to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Primary school teachers in Bayelsa have expressed disappointment that their April salaries did not reflect increases following promotions, despite the pledge by Gov Douye Diri.
According to official sources, the state government made available about N200 million and had promised to commence the implementation of salary increases following the promotion of primary school teachers who are in the services of local governments.
But the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) learnt that the payment of promotion increment for primary school teachers stalled since 2013.
Mr Igelege Samuel, who spoke on behalf of the teachers in Ogbia Local Government Area (LGA), told NAN on Tuesday in Yenagoa that primary school teachers felt disappointed when the increments were not reflected in their April salaries.
