World Teachers’ Day: Unions push for better welfare, retirement package

 

Teachers across Nigeria have renewed calls for improved welfare, better working conditions, and the full implementation of the 65-year retirement age policy as the nation joined the rest of the world to mark the 2025 World Teachers’ Day.

At various events held nationwide, teachers’ unions and education stakeholders decried the slow pace of policy implementation, poor remuneration, and inadequate teaching facilities, which they said continued to undermine the quality of education.

They urged federal and state governments to priorities teachers’ welfare and ensure that promises made to the education sector are fulfilled.
