Delta State Governor, Rt. Sheriff OborevworiDelta State Local Government Joint Account Committee (JAC), Wednesday, July 29, 2026, approved Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s decision on the career progression of primary school graduate teachers in the state from Grade Level 14 to Grade Level 17. Ezewu said the governor’s approval had renewed the confidence of primary school teachers and demonstrated the administration’s commitment to improving their welfare. She noted that the decision would encourage more qualified professionals to seek employment in public primary schools, as teachers would no longer see their career progression ending at Grade Level 14.
