The SUBEB chairman added that the Service has a rewarding system which will compensate teachers for their hard work, dedication and honesty.

Meanwhile, a pensioner, Mrs Rose Arabameh Julius, who retired as a cleaner at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) has donated her entire pension of Ten Thousand Naira (N10,000) to support the federal government’s war against corruption.

Mrs Julius also promised to contribute N1,000 every month henceforth, out of her pension, towards the rehabilitation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

According to a statement signed by Abiodun Oladunjoye for the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, the pensioner said she made the donation based on her assurance of President Muhammadu Buhari’s integrity.

Mrs Julius is quoted to have said that the president can be trusted to restore Nigeria’s lost glory and drastically curb corruption in the country.

The pensioner also commended the president’s efforts to end the Boko Haram insurgency and rehabilitate internally displaced persons.

Adesina received the donation on behalf of President Buhari and thanked Mrs Julius for her faith in the Buhari administration.

“We have a pact with Nigerians to change things for the better and we are on the right track. President Buhari and his team are working tirelessly to revamp the economy, combat terrorism and curb corruption,” Adesina said.
