FG to implement first/second class minimum policy for teachers
The Federal Government has declared that plans are underway to adopt a career path policy for Nigerian teachers to reduce the number of unqualified teachers in the country.
The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Sonny Echono, said this, on Saturday, in Abuja, while monitoring teachers’ Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE), organised by Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN).
According to him, a national implementation committee will be set up soon in that respect.
“We are planning to lead entry for those with First Class or Second Class Upper as minimum, as we are serious about implementing the policy. Whether you are in the private sector, government, community or faith-based school, we will enforce this policy to the fullest,” he said.
Governor Sanwo-Olu failed to communicate curfew time change to us- Nigerian Army
The Nigerian Army has said that Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, did not inform them of a change in the curfew time imposed on the state on October 20, 2020.
During his appearance before a judicial panel established by the state government to investigate the incident and brutality by police officers against civilians, Brigadier Ibrahim Taiwo, who represented the army, said Sanwo-Olu failed to inform them of the change in curfew time and wanton destruction that happened prior to the occurrence at Lekki toll gate.
“The occurrences that took place from October 18 were nothing short of lawlessness and violence. This was what prompted Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to request the intervention of the army.
“The change in curfew time was not communicated to the Nigeria Army. Contrary to what is out there, it was done throughout Lagos State upon receipt of Stage 4 of IS Security. Phase 4 is the immediate deployment of soldiers outside the barracks to intervene,” he said
