Ekiti State Government has distributed cheques totalling Two Hundred Million Naira (N200,000,000) as car and housing loans to four hundred (400) teaching and non-teaching staff in public primary schools across the State.
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji while flagging off the distribution at Lady Jibowu Hall, Government House grounds in Ado Ekiti, noted that the decision to introduce a vehicle and housing loan scheme for public primary school teachers is in fulfilment of the promise he made to review the policy that had hitherto discriminated against primary school teachers in the State as they were the only major segment in the state public service that did not have a government car and housing loan scheme.
Governor Oyebanji, who was represented by the Head of Service, Engr. Sunday Komolafe, stated that in the quest to provide free qualitative basic education to pupils in public primary schools in the state, it is imperative to provide incentives which would boost the morale of teachers and also provide a framework that helps teachers impart knowledge more effectively.
