The Labour Party Governorship candidate in Oyo State Hon. Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale has joined Nigerians to celebrate teachers on this year’s occasion of Teachers Day Celebration 2022.
Hon. Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale who is also a trained and certified teacher expressed his readiness to ensure the welfare of teachers in his administration stating that one of the paramount agenda of his administration if elected is leaving a good educational legacy which can only be achieved when the government takes teachers welfare as important.
He also pointed out that his running mate Mrs. Esther Adebimpe Akanji retired from active service of Oyo State Teaching Commission TESCOM as a School Principal in April 2022.
He stated “Our Program in the Educational sector is FIT an acronym for Funding, Infrastructure, and Training of the Trainers. This training will be local, National, and International” because teachers are the nation builders.
He further emphasized his administration’s intention to take teachers’ matters as paramount. According to him, the reward of teachers should not necessarily be in heaven as commonly said, they also deserve to be rewarded here on earth as well.
The Agenda of TAWFIQ/Esther is to give all government workers “Educational Allowances” that will take care of their Children’s education bills so that their salaries will be used for other things.
“Situation, where teachers use their salary account to obtain loans from the bank and leaving them with meager salary at the end of the month, will be eradicated by our administration” these were the words of Hon. Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale.
He reassures Oyo state citizens and workers of a government that belongs to everyone and will be responsive and responsible, he, therefore, calls out on teachers to weigh his intentions for them and throw their support behind him in the 2023 elections.
