Otti approves discriminatory package to retain teachers in rural areas

Governor Alex Otti of Abia State says he has approved a discriminatory compensation package to incentivise teaching services in public schools located in remote areas of the state.

Mr Otti said this on Friday night during the December edition of his monthly media briefing at the Government House, Umuahia.

He said that the initiative would address the persistent challenge of staffing in hard-to-reach areas.
