According to the Board, the latest development signals meaningful progress toward resolving issues surrounding outstanding promotions and upgrading for teachers in a transparent and orderly manner.
The state government also commended Basic Education teachers for their patience, professionalism, and dedication during the period of delay. It further acknowledged the constructive engagement of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Adamawa State Wing, led by Comrade Faisal Mohammed, in advocating for the interests of its members.
The government reiterated its commitment to strengthening the basic education sector and ensuring that teachers receive appropriate recognition, motivation, and opportunities for career progression.
