We are appealing to the Federal Ministry of Education led by Prof. Adamu Adamu to kindly look into the matter of the nonpayment of the unity schools teachers recruited within the period of 2018/2019.

Over a session has been completed with the full commitment of these teachers to their duty with no hope of IPPIS capturing needless to say payment insight.

We have worked for the past 2years without being paid a dine. The period of lockdown has really been gruesome for our families as there is no money to feed our family.

Many other ministries that recruited at the same time have been captured on IPPIS platform and have since been receiving their salaries.

We understand that teachers in few parts of the country were recently captured, whereas other teachers in the remaining parts of the country have been waiting in futility to be captured.

This delay in IPPIS capturing and the consequent nonpayment of our salaries have made life unbearable for us.

Please, we call on the Minister for Education, Prof. Adamu and the Permanent Secretary Arc. Echono to kindly help us resolve this issue so that our suffering and pain and that of our families can be alleviated. They lamented in tears.
