The Chairman of the state Universal Basic Education Board, Mallam Nuhu Ahmed who gave the assurance during a chat with journalists in Lokoja recently also promised the teachers of prompt payment of their salaries.
But what remains according to him is to ensure that only the genuine teachers are the ones collecting the money.
