What happened
The federal government approved a special salary structure for teachers in basic and secondary schools. The National Union of Teachers (NUT) is now demanding that the government implement this scale immediately. The union stated that the approval was made in 2022 under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. The NUT argues that the four-year delay is unacceptable given rising living costs and staffing issues.

Why it matters
The union insists that the government must translate the policy pronouncements into actual improved remuneration for teachers. The continued delay puts pressure on the federal government regarding its policy execution and budgetary commitments for the education sector.
