Buhari approves 40 years in service for teachers

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday approved an upward review of teachers salaries and retirement.

The president increased years of service from 35 to 40 for all Nigerian teachers in primary and secondary schools.

Education minister Adamu Adamu announced the administration’s decision on Monday afternoon in Abuja.

The development capped decades of agitation by early school workers that the government should implement an upward review of their retirement and salaries.
