Buhari proposes new salary for teachers

I'm not aware of any recent proposal by President Muhammadu Buhari to increase the salary of teachers in Nigeria. However, I can provide some context and information on the current state of teacher salaries in Nigeria.

In 2020, the Nigerian government announced a new minimum wage of N30,000 (approximately $80 USD) for federal civil servants, including teachers. However, this increase has not been fully implemented, and many teachers are still receiving lower salaries.

There have been ongoing demands from teachers' unions and advocacy groups for better pay and working conditions. In 2020, the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) called for a 100% increase in teachers' salaries, citing the high cost of living and the need for teachers to be motivated to perform their duties effectively.

In recent years, there have been some efforts to improve teacher salaries and working conditions in Nigeria. For example, the World Bank has provided funding to support the implementation of the Teacher Professional Development and Capacity Building Program, which aims to improve teacher training and capacity building.

It's possible that President Buhari may have proposed or will propose new salary increases for teachers in the future. However, I'm not aware of any specific proposal or announcement that has been made recently.

It's worth noting that teacher salaries are an important issue in Nigeria, and there is a need for sustained investment in education to improve the quality of teaching and learning.
