May God direct whom ever that is incharge and responsible for our remaining 4,5&6 months salary to pay all our money between today Wednesday, 14/SEP/2016 and next tomorrow Friday, 16/SEP/2016.
This I pray through Jesus christ our lord, amen.

The Rivers State Commissioner for Education, Prof Kaniye Ebeku, has urged teachers in the state to first exhaust all avenues of dialogue before considering the proposed strike action.Ebeku, who made the appeal recently in a meeting with the teachers in Port Harcourt, the state capital, noted that the policy of the present administration was not to owe any staff, hence, the allegation of outstanding salary arrears to teachers would be looked into with a view to addressing the problemThe commissioner told the teachers that, “assuming without considering that any legitimate teacher is being owed salary, we believe that you should not start by going on strike.“We need to know how this came about because as far as this government is concerned, the policy isnot to owe any staff. So,if any staff is being owed salary, there mustbe something wrong along the line that we will seek to explore and resolve.“Consequently, we haveurged them (teachers) to stop any planned strike action that could disrupt the smooth resumption of students’upcoming academic session,” Ebeku added.He used the opportunityto urge parents and guardians to prepare their children and wardsfor the new date of resumption of schools, which is September 19, 2016.The Tide recalls that teachers under the auspices of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) had last week, issued a communiqué directing teachers to resume work after the holidays while appealing to government to pay them their outstanding salary arrears, while at the same time, warning that they would embark on strike, if on resumption, they are not given their entitlements.In the communiqué, theteachers had listed payment of arrears of salaries, implementation of promotions and conduct of outstanding promotion interviews of those who are due as issues to be addressed by the government.The communiqué was issued at the end of a meeting of the State Wing Executive Council (SWEC) of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Rivers State wing.

arrant nonsense. absolute rubbish. as a commissioner has he ever been owed his salary and entitlements for even a month?

Please manage our land o....this commissioner statement is occupying almost 10 plot! back to the matter.

Commissioner's statement is funny...instead of telling the ministry of finance to fast forward the payment of our money as one way of boosting our morah on the job. he wants us to go and teach with empty stomach! that is like sending a soldier to fight Boko Haram in sambisa forest without weapon!

Alerts will soon start coming in today by God's grace.

I'm very certain about it. My source is not from the ministry, nor schools board , neither is it coming from any Government official.

But from the almighty God whose power non can contend. Job 22:28 says, thou shall also degree a thing and it shall be established unto thee....

At this juncture, all we need is God's report and his intervention.
Than to listen to this liars(politicians), with their dead conscience.

Also it has cut down our expenses, especially from those that would have queue behind us, on hearing that we have been paid.
The only issue, is that we will take two to three months to settle DEBTS and hurray the rest.
Whichever way, no alert , no work.

its only in Nigeria that civil servants would enter into dialogue with Government for their rights as in their monthly wages, salaries and remuneration, pensions etc before they are paid. In advanced countries you sue your employer that's including the Government when these human rights are not meant. so this dishonorable commissioner of education expects me to borrow and go to work? shey!!!! as if the arrears that Government would pay....... them go put interest on top!!!!....I have needs to be met...just because rivers state government married me and put me in a classroom doesn't mean they would Bleep me regularly by asking me to go to work without pay....ndi ara.

haba! no alert today?

It's almost certain that school will not resume on Monday 19th of September ... No pay No work ! Thursday is gone.

The Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has said that it is a sin for any employer of labour particularly government to owe workers salaries in a time of recession the country is in now.

Obiano said this during the commencement of the Anambra State Fire and Safety Summit in Awka on Wednesday.

He said payment of workers’ salaries would energise the economy in a recession and make life more meaningful for the people.

The governor, who expressed fear that the dollar would continue to rise against the naira, said it would take no fewer than 18 months for the economic downturn in the country to subside.

He said, “A state that does not pay its workers is inviting calamity. Payment of workers’ salaries energises the economy.

“We saw this recession early and made agriculture one of the pillars of our administration.

This is why we have been paying our workers. It is wicked to owe workers at a time like this.

“People should embrace risk management. That is the solution to disaster, especially in a recession.

“No recession lasts less than 18 months, so we need to wake up. The naira is moving to N500 per dollar.

“We need to secure our certificates and other valuables of ours so that nothing will happen to them overnight. That’s the way to survive in a recession.”

He said his administration foresaw the trouble and embarked on preemptive measures such as investment in agriculture.

Obiano posited that risk management was the solution to economic recession.

He called on Nigerians to develop the culture of insuring their lives and property, arguing that it was one sure way of mitigating the adverse effects of disasters whenever they would occur.

The governor, however, observed that the people of the South-East geopolitical zone had not been paying attention to insurance.

He added that that was why they were usually the worse hit whenever disasters occurred.

He said that his administration had acquired 10 sophisticated modern fire-fighting trucks to boost the activities of the state fire service

The governor advised that rather than approach government for assistance whenever disaster occurred, the people should form the habit of taking insurance policies.

“My expectation is that our people will be better informed about disaster and its management after listening to the various speakers at this summit,” the governor said.
