The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, has asked the Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau, to "urgently probe alleged stealing of teachers' salaries and benefits in several Federal Government colleges across the country, and punish suspected perpetrators."
In the petition dated August 4 and signed by SERAP's executive director, Adetokunbo Mumuni the organization said that, "SERAP has carried out a survey and interviewed hundreds of teachers in Federal Government colleges across the country. Among others, our investigations revealed that while many of the teachers interviewed have been promoted to a higher salary scale, their adjusted salaries which accrued as a result of the promotions have not been paid for more than 8 years."
