Over 11,000 Teachers Get Promoted In Plateau State

The Universal Basic Education Board in
Plateau on Thursday said it had promoted 11,595
teachers in the state.

Dr Lyop Mang, the Executive Chairman of the board,
told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos that the
beneficiaries were last promoted seven years ago.

The chairman said the promotion was delayed due to
unavailable biometric data of the teachers.

She also said that some of the promotions were
delayed due to lack of prerequisite qualification by
the teachers.

Mang said only teachers from 15 of the 17 Local
Government Areas of the state benefited in the
exercise, adding that teachers from Bokkos and
Mangu Local Government Areas were excluded
following delay in the compilation of their data.

The chairman said pending cases were being
addressed by the board, stressing that the exercise
would motivate the affected teachers to be more
committed to their duties.

"I enjoin the teachers to see this promotion as a
charge to perform their duties diligently," she said.

The chairman said the state government had
constructed 10 classrooms at the Girl-Child Junior
Secondary School, Gurum, Bassa Local Government
Area, to enhance girl-child education in the state.
