The Nigeria Union of Teachers, Delta State Chapter, on Tuesday appealed to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to employ more teachers.
The State Chairman of the union, Titus Okotie, made the appeal as the union paid 1,099 teachers their contributions from its social security and investment scheme.
He said that the beneficiaries were those that retired from the state public service between July and October, 2017 and had been contributing to the scheme.
Okotie told the News Agency of Nigeria in Asaba on Tuesday that the scheme was established by the union’s founding fathers in January 1999 to assist teachers going on retirement.
He said that each member was contributing N2,000 monthly to the scheme and such member would collect his or her total contributions on retirement.
Okotie added that any member on retirement would also receive a 200 per cent as interest accruing from the monthly contributions.
The chairman, however, expressed his displeasure at the gap the retirement would create in the system.
He appealed to the state government to employ more teachers that would fill the vacuum.
