Sokoto State has on Tuesday inaugurated a committee to advise the state government on remuneration of Principals of public secondary schools in the state.
The Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, while inaugurating the committee said the plan for the enhanced pay package of principals was in order to commensurate their responsibilities.
A statement issued by the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the governor, Muhammad Bello in Sokoto noted that in no distant future after his pledge has been redeemed, primary school teachers too will start enjoying ‘amplified emoluments’.
“We are beginning with the remunerations of principals of secondary schools as a first phase because we have a baseline data on them.
“A similar gesture will be extended to our primary schools because they are the critical foundation for all subsequent educational pursuits.
“So now we are considering the consolidation of the salaries of principals, who have reached the appropriate level,” he said.
A NAN report said the Governor asked the 11-man committee headed by a former Head of Service in the state, Dr Buhari Bello, with the task of coming up with appropriate modalities for the implementation of the planned incentives.
