Teachers in public secondary schools in Ogun State will begin to get their outstanding leave bonuses as from this week,  so as to boost their morale and  improve their productivity  in the classrooms 

Governor Dapo Abiodun who revealed this in Abeokuta on  Monday during an interaction with members of the Academic Staff Union of Secondary School Teachers in the State, said he had given approval for  the payment of leave bonuses for the months of January and February 

‘’ What we did was that, as from January of 2023, we will start paying leave bonuses in installments with your salaries, every month, you get a chunk of it, so that it won't accrue any more’’, the governor stated

Governor Abiodun said his administration was currently working towards paying a lump sum to clear some part of the global deductions owed secondary school teachers in the State, noting that within 24 hours, they would hear from the government.
