 And in Ogun State, perhaps the celebration would have been all fun, but some of the teachers decried poor rewards and unsatisfactory conditions of service, the one the government to do better in terms of teachers' remuneration. The state governor, Dakhbadi Abiyadu, apologized to the teachers for the government's lapses and then assured them of better days to come. It would be difficult for a teacher to be attached to this educational recovery because of what we all know. All over the federation, Ogun State is not apart, teachers are being denied their rights, teachers are not paid their entitlements, even those of us that have retired, our members that have retired are not being given proper care. And this is a bad signal to those of us teaching, because when you see a retired teacher suffering, you in the service will be thinking of your future. As a result of this, it will be difficult to eradicate corruption in the profession because we would like to prepare for your after retirement because those that retired were not being taken proper care of. Our whole expectation is executive pronouncement of its excellence to declare total payments of all deducted funds, the one we call global deduction, so that this celebration this year will be worthwhile. Issues are raised on last year's merit awards and their recipients. Apparently there were some administrative bottlenecks that prevented or affected the handover of the necessary awardees there, awards. I have always kept in focus and prioritized the welfare of Ogun State workforce in general and that of teachers in particular. I believe that most of the demands are legitimate even when the problems predate this administration. I wish you had all the funds and there will be not one item left on your list of demands that will not be immediately addressed.
