The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Delta State Wing, has praised Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for approving improved career progression for graduate teachers in public primary schools, describing the decision as a major boost for teachers’ welfare and the state’s education system.
The union said the approval resolves a long-standing issue that had hindered the professional advancement of university-trained teachers within the primary education sector, adding that the development would strengthen morale and improve classroom performance across the state.
In a letter jointly signed by the State Chairman, Comrade Poubeni Dickson, and the Assistant Secretary-General, Comrade Dan Basime, the union commended the governor for what it described as another landmark intervention in support of education.
According to the NUT, the decision reflects the Oborevwori administration’s commitment to recognising professionalism, rewarding academic qualifications and investing in a more effective public education system.
