Vincent Martins Otse, a Nigerian social media user and vocal critic, has spoken out against the abuse of Abuja’s public primary school students.
VDM revealed his traumatic experience with the students—who have been absent from school—in a video that has been making the rounds on social media.
He pointed out that false information on the rise in the minimum wage from N30,000 to N80,000 had been spread. In actuality, though, teachers continue to collect a pitiful N30,000. Then VDM said that the teachers had refused to teach the kids, leaving them stranded, since they are owed.
Therefore, he urged the Nigerian government to investigate the matter, emphasizing that the children’s future is of utmost importance.
“For over 9weeks our public primary school kids in the federal capital territory have been out of school because the president Tinubu administration lied about the increment of the minimum wage,according to their books they claimed they are paying these primary school teachers 80 thousand naira and above depending on their level”
“Sadly they lied to them because till now they are still being paid 30 thousand naira and upon this they have been owed salaries and for this reasons the teachers decided to go on strike
@officialasiwajubat this is not the future you promised Nigerians.” “Our children be limited to a brighter future without this basic education, the greed of your government should not cost them a path to the good life @officialefcc please we demand a deep investigation on the board in charge of their salaries so as to clear this mess and send these innocent kids back to school.”
