Akwa Ibom state governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has sent his goodwill message to teachers in the state on the occasion of the 2023 World Teachers’ Day.
In a message released by his chief press secretary, Ekerete Udoh, Governor Umo Eno celebrated teachers for “the foundation, both in learning and morality that you, our treasured teachers have laid and are still laying for our children.
“We salute you for your sacrifice, passion, and patience in molding our future leaders. That’s the reason we have taken your welfare and well-being very seriously. To date, we have released over N3 billion to pay gratuities, especially to retired primary school teachers.
“We are constructing model public primary schools with adequate provisions for teachers to reside within the premises as was the case in the past.”
