The
Federal Government has approved the sum of N75,000 as stipend per semester for
students undergoing degree programmes in Education in public universities in
Nigeria.
Also,
the Nigeria Certificate in Education students will get N50,000 as stipend per
semester as part of the deliberate effort of the government to attract the best
brains into the teaching profession as promised by the President, Major General
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), last year.
Minister
of Education, Adamu Adamu, announced this on Tuesday at the World Teachers’ Day
celebration held at Eagle Square, Abuja.
Adamu, whose speech was read by the
Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Sonny Echono, said his
ministry would collaborate with the state governments to ensure automatic
employment for the students on graduation.
He
said: “Undergraduate students of B.Ed/B.A. Ed/BSc. Ed in Public institutions
are to receive stipends of N75,000.00 per semester while NCE students will get
N50,000.00 as stipends per semester.
“Federal
Government should find the modality through which respective states’
governments could provide automatic employment for NCE graduates at Basic
Education level.”
