Gov Ahmed Wants Teachers' Salaries Out of LGs

Ilorin — Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed has called for the removal of primary school teachers' salaries from local government allocations in order to ease funding challenges at the local council level in the country. According to the governor, primary education is too important to be left at the mercy of local government areas, who are becoming increasingly incapacitated to meet the challenges of modern governance. "Most of them lack the financial requirements of primary education, especially primary school teachers."
