Teachers of the Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB) in Ebonyi state have lauded Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru for listening to their yearnings and promptly paying them ₦100,000 as part of the 2025 Christmas bonus.
The teachers had earlier appealed to Governor Nwifuru to mandate local government chairmen to pay them the bonus, which was given to their counterparts at the senior secondary school levels to enable them to celebrate the yuletide.
Speaking on behalf of the teachers, Mr. Ottah Ibiam, a Grade Level 13 civil servant at Ebunwana Model Girls Secondary School in Edda Local Government Area, thanked Governor Nwifuru for his prompt intervention and appealed for more welfare packages for his members.
"We appreciate the governor for paying us the ₦100,000 bonus. However, state workers received ₦150,000, while we got ₦100,000. We still await the remaining ₦50,000," Ibiam said.
He commended the governor's swift response, describing it as proof of his commitment to prioritizing workers' welfare. Ibiam also appealed for the inclusion of UBEB teachers in the ₦20,000 salary increment.
"We remind the governor of the ₦20,000 increment and the 2024 bonus that others have received. Most teachers in primary and junior secondary schools are yet to receive it. We pray he continues his good works," Ibiam added.
