Bayelsa Teachers Lament April Salaries Did Not Reflect New Promotions(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. 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. “We remain grateful to the governor who intervened to end our stagnation, the primary teachers in Bayelsa have been earning the same salary since 2013 even though they are promoted as and when due. He explained that the updated records, including promotion records, were required to compute the new salary scale of the teachers.
