THE Ekiti State Government has approved N76.6m as vehicle and housing loans for primary school teachers in the state.
The approval comprises vehicle loans for 49 teachers and housing loans for 72 beneficiaries.
The Chairman of the Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board, Prof. Femi Akinwumi, said the gesture was part of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration’s commitment to improving teachers’ welfare and boosting their morale.
Akinwumi, in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, said incentives for educators were critical to the delivery of free and quality basic education.
He said, “Governor Biodun Oyebanji has approved N76.6m as vehicle and housing loans for primary school teachers in the state as part of efforts to improve their welfare. Improved welfare will enable teachers to perform better and create a more conducive learning environment for pupils.”
The SUBEB chairman recalled that the state government had earlier disbursed N200m under the revolving loan scheme to enable more teachers to benefit from the programme.
