All I know is that Amaechi employed me and Sim Fubara promoted me.I'm grateful to both governors. These are the real talk na do governors. Nobody should tell me cock and bull story.

May God save our Governor, Rivers State stand by your Governor.

This page is always under attack by keypad
terrorists. We all know the chief bully and his modus operandi. Teachers are great nation builders and not known for exhibitions of unprofessional characters. Let's conduct ourselves decently.

States should comply immediately.

*REMINDER!*

Promotion letters for each Lga is currently being distributed in batches. Very soon, that of your Lga will be disbursed through the LGEA office.

Before the letter gets to you, make sure you get a copy of your Payslip and keep it handy. When you finally receive your Promotion letter, take any of the following steps:

1) If the Grade Level and Step on your Promotion letter is the same with what you have on your Payslip, then you don't have any problem. You're good to go!

2) If the Grade Level and Step on your Promotion letter is lower than what you have on your Payslip, then go to your LGEA office and make an official complain. It will be addressed and you will receive your correct pay by the following month.

3) If the Grade Level and Step on your Promotion letter is higher than what you have on your Payslip, then you need to act carefully. Do one of the following:

a) If the increment is only on your Step but doesn't affect your Grade Level, then just sit down quietly and enjoy the favour. Increment of Step is not a very serious issue. It can be changed back to your real Step or if you're lucky, it can be overlooked.

b) If the increment affects your Grade Level, then that's a very serious problem. Immediately go to your LGEA office and report yourself. By so doing, you will be shown pardon by the Supervising Director and he or she will correct the error or fraud. But if you decide not to go and report yourself and allow the Board or LGEA to find you out, then there's nothing else they can do but to send your details to the Board Chairman. That will be very disastrous.

Have a blessed day!

*Diplomatic Sir*

Is Rssb included in promotion letters disbursement?.When will the Rssb teachers get their own letters?.

Kindsoul55:
one ewu banza who hardly contributes anything to this group will soon come for you guys.

Calm down comrade.

NLC is just for FG workers, once fg and nlc agrees the state workers are on their own.No nlc at state levels but will always join FG workers on a strike. Nlc strike is useless to state workers because they gain nothing.

Chibuking81:
News about FAAC can't be secret. State government probably pay us with money from the reserve, or IGR, Knowing fully well that FAAC must surely come.

Truly, God has bless us with good governor. Workers friendly Governor, I thank God for that. Sincerely our governor is working.

This is a very good one from the Governor.

I got approval for my PGDE and my M.Ed from SSSB and mine has been implemented. I received 124,182.12 formerly 8/3

My exact experience.I got approval for my pgde and submitted result. With TRCN.

Some federal government workers were paid today.

onlyhandsome202:
Hmmmm, make what I heard this afternoon be true ooo. I called someone who works at the Board headquarters, he said that Gov. Sim directed that the steps should be from 6-7 and not 3-4.

He said that arrangements have been concluded for us to receive new salary and even the commissioner for education also reassured them during the meeting held at rumuokwuta school this week.

My own na to update as I hear am, na only my alert go tell me the truth by month end.

I just pray that this is true. This should be the work NUT to pursue, but they're not concerned. There work is to supervise how to cut teachers salaries.

Teachers WhatsApp group number please.

Heavy rain in portharcourt this morning, can't make it to the training. Anyway, I was there yesterday.

NUT has no business with the teachers, they are there for their pockets. They only fight for the teachers dues to enter pockets, use it to build a Secretariat not known to teachers.

IS ANYONE WITH THE SECRETARIAT ADDRESS?.

TheWatchDog:
I have said it repeatedly that we were paid level 10 salary instead of level 12.

You are correct, I've confirmed from records. The promotion is from level 8 to 10. Considering the range pasted so far on this forum. Highest salary collected is #123k.
For level 12 it should be 140k and above.

emekatex:
Listen carefully. those of you that were under paid please as a matter of urgency proceed to Ministry of finance with your bank statement, ID card (either to room 209 or 217) lay your complain and your case would be sorted out and the arreas of this particular discrepancy would be paid to you in dues course.
Don't go to your schools board as they will tell you to go home that they would do something about it and that ends it but won't do anything.
Do as I said so that you won't end up receiving this error of salary for the rest of this L12.
It happened to me when we started this job newly and that was how I sorted mine speedily and was glad I did.

Good information

Rivers state is still on 18k minimum wage, while many are on 40k and above. Major reason for this micro increment even after 3 promotion .

So where will this discrepancies be corrected.

What about arrears of new salary,any information about arrears.

Kindly take this job as attachment while looking for something meaningful. Total reliance on this job is the high way to poverty,regret and sudden death.
If this is the only thing you rely on, Kindly let people know that you don't have a job and you are in need of a job.
For me I live without telling people that I'm a civil servant,in case if they want to help me. I do any job available to survive with my family.
Beside this job,I'm a driver, a trader, a farmer, a home lesson teacher, a per time teacher and anything good that comes my way.All these I do to survive.
I hardly believe any news or promises from politicians, I take anything they give without disappointment.

Forwarded as received.

The Executive Chairman of the Rivers State Universal Basic Education Board Ven. Fyneface Akah this morning inaugurated the Promotion Letters Committee headed by Dr. Sam Obisike.

While assuring them of support and an enabling environment to do their work the Board Chairman cautioned against acts or behaviours capable of delaying the job as he would be ready to start signing the promotion letters from tomorrow and gave up to the second week of September 2023 as deadline to conclude the work.

In his speech, chairman of the committee Dr. Sam Obisike assured the chairman of the committee's readiness to deliver appropriately and thanked the Board for chosing them.

I don't understand

Going by this information, teachers are in for another marrygoround .Kindly drop your hope of getting new salary. I just pray this is not true.

What is the fate of RSSB in all this matter.

dmercy141983:



Ask @kindsoul55 he knows everything.

Is he on nairaland?.

dmercy141983:


Go through the back door if the front door is not opening.

Which one be back or front door for transfer matter.

I'm in need of transfer,I pray,I get it this time around. I've submitted letters in the past 10 years and nothing came out.I really need it without stress this time around.
Rssb made transfer a major achievement for teachers seeking transfer.

Honestically:
When I read and listen to news about other states implementing increase in salaries of civil servants and other measures to cushion the impact of the subsidy removal and harsh economic reality, even in the states with very little resources, I feel bad about the type of leadership we have in Rivers State. Here in Rivers State, we are not even talking about increase in salaries to cushion the impact of the subsidy removal and the harsh economic reality that has made the current pay (without promotion for 10 years) a mockery in the face of the new economy reality but praying for promotions for 10 years plus. Is a pity we found ourselves in a state that is blessed with lots resources/revenue but we don't feel the impact of such because of the kind of leadership we have.

Last week I read some post here about a meeting and issues that concerns teachers and promotions. Attributing delay to absence of constituted board members and chairman, and a promise of doing so within a week. Now my questions:
1. Is it teachers that constitute board members and chairman that should bear the burden of failure of appointment of board members and chairman?
2. How long does it takes to appoint board members and chairman?
3. Are there no qualified persons in the state to be appointment board members and chairman?
4. When will the one week promised for the constitution of the board elapsed?

The government is not the problem but the civil servants. Most of the civil servants are praise singers of the politicians and believe that the politicians will cut their own cake for them reasons why many are not interested in promotion or minimum wage. Look at NLC and NUT in Rivers, do they exist,the answer is NO.The people believe promotion is a favour given to them by the government and not their right. But same people are on Radio stations criticising Lagos, Kaduna and FG.FG don't fail in all civil servants payment, same with Lagos and other states. Hypocrite criticising others but no time to criticize their own government. NLC and NUT don't even know that civil servants exist, there work is to collect union dues and share in name of an invisible Secretariat which is of no benefit to the teachers or workers.

Apraise:
Glory be to God. The Governor invited the 22 state officers of NUT and the concern teachers led by one Adoye from opobo who complained about the recent deductions by NUT as regards the teachers house and TRCN. His Excellency, after listening to both parties,cautioned Adoye and his group and ask them to support the union because protesting against the union will make them look like rebels and that it may lead to their suspension. He said this should be the last time any group aside the leaders of the union will plan for any protest without channelling their case to the union leaders because he has teachers at heart that if any one will trouble him that it should not be teachers. His Excellency said his first appointment into civil service was as a teacher and that it was teaching profession that made him what he is today. He promised to complete the teachers house to avoid further deductions. For promotion he said 'i know it is your right' for teachers in UBE, we have concluded with them but the senior secondary we are yet because we have not constituted the board but that it will be done in a week time. He promised to pay in arrears. FROM A FRIEND THAT WAS THERE.

We don't have a Teachers union, what we have as exco is a bunch of selfish political teachers working for their pockets.

*TEACHERS ARE GREAT!!!*
*NO CONTROVERSY* 🥀

*UPDATE OF THE STRUGGLE SO FAR*

ON HEARING THIS, WE SENT ALL OUR PROTEST LETTERS AND PETITION TO THE GOVERNOR, COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION,SSG, CHIEF OF STAFF AND SA TO GOVERNOR ON INTER GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS.
WHILE STILL AT DIOBU MONITORING EVENTS, THE DSS TRACKED ADONYE NUMBER AND TOOK HIM AWAY. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME, SO WE SECRETLY SENT TEXT TO MADAM FLORENCE OGWUTUM WHO DROVE TO MEET US AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE GATE, SHOUTING WE ARE TEACHERS, THEN WE FINALLY GOT FAVOUR FROM THE GOVERNOR AND LEFT THE DSS SECURITY POST AND ENTERED THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

ON REACHING THERE, THE NUT CHAIRMAN WAS CALLED TO I IDENTIFY US BUT HE DENIED US THAT WE ARE NOT HIS TEACHERS, WE TOLD HIM THAT YOU DONT KNOW US BUT YOU ARE DEDUCTING OUR MONEY. BEFORE THE DSS TOOK US IN TO THE GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE HALL

*MEETING WITH THE GOVERNOR*

WE STATED OUR POINTS BASED ON OUR DEMANDS AS IS IN OUR STRUGGLE AND THE NUT CHAIRMAN STATED HIS DEFENSE.

*RESOLUTION/ GOVERNOR'S DIRECTIVE*

1. THE GOVERNOR INSTRUCTED THAT ALL DEDUCTIONS ON THE BUILDING BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY.

2. THE GOVERNOR, INSTRUCTED THE HEAD OF CIVIL SERVICE DR. GEORGE NWEKE AND THE COMMISSIONER FOR EDUCATION TO CALL THE TWO BODIES, (NUT AND US) TO RESOLVE ALL ISSUES.

3. THE GOVERNOR INSTRUCTED THAT THE COST OF THE REMAINING BUILDING BE SENT TO HIM , THAT HE WILL COMPLETE THE BUILDING.

4. THE GOVERNOR INFORMED US THAT THE PROMOTION OF UBE HAS BEEN APPROVED AND WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. BUT THAT OF SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IS ON HOLD DUE TO NO CONSTITUTED BOARD, BUT THAT HE WILL CONSTITUTE THE BOARD NEXT WEEK SO AS TO CONCLUDE THEIR PROMOTION.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY.

THANKS

FROM
CENTRAL PLANNING COMMITTEE

You have done what Napoleon couldn't do.Thanks for speaking for us and shaming those NUT criminals. We now have a face and not those shameless criminals.

Shame on saboteurs working for the NUT guys.

I think NUT elections should not be a secret affair from hence forth. A real teacher should be the chairman, including other positions. The current executives are pure politicians and complete outsiders. They are there for their pockets only.

Good, but the governor should be furnished with the truth.Those NUT guys have started giving false information about the teachers to the government. Also why is it that only them were invited to government House.

dmercy and Co,kindly take your fight out of this trend.We have something important at hand. Stop derailing the trend. Please calm down and let's follow the committee on the situation at hand.
