Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has promised to pay four out of six months’ salaries to recalled education inspectors, principals and teachers in the state.
The governor recalled the education officers who were sacked last year for alleged dereliction of duty, last week during the May Day celebration.
The recalled teachers, 60 in all, are to resume work on Monday (today).
Oshiomhole, who said the decision to relieve them of their appointment was a difficult one, added that the least he owed the Edo child was quality education.
He said, “Thank you for taking time out to come and say all you have said. Let me thank you for appreciating what we have done and let me use this to explain to you why we took the decision, which was a difficult one for me.
“I believe that the least I owe the Edo child is quality primary and secondary education. We have seen that some of our schools are beautiful than some of our higher colleges.
This is deliberate, because I know that it is a fact that there is no country the world over where everybody is a graduate. But what some countries have achieved is a situation where every child has sound primary and secondary education. Once you have a sound foundation, even if you are unable to go further, you have what it takes to help yourself in life.”
