Kaduna State Universal Basic Education Board KADSUBEB says the delay in paying some primary school teachers' February salary is as a result of technical hitches which will soon be rectified.
In a statement signed by Malam Ahmed Sani, the Head of the Human Resource Department, said First City Monument Bank FCMB has successfully paid teachers in five local governments.
The bank explained that the problem is attributed to the severe network challenges that banks face due to a deluge of online transfers, occasioned by the naira redesign policy.
He said the salaries of teachers in fourteen local governments are pending on the bank’s platform including Kaduna North, Makarfi, Soba and Zaria councils, Kubau, Lere, Sabon Gari, Kaduna South, Jema’a, Zangon Kataf and Kudan as well as Chikun, Giwa, and Kajuru local governments.
KADSUBEB assured all the teachers that the bank is doing everything possible to ensure speedy payment and the relevant updates will be provided as soon as the situation improves.
