Oyo State Primary School Teachers Lament Delay in July Salary, Unpaid 2025 and 2026 Leave Allowances, Inaccessibility to Loans
Primary school teachers across Oyo State have expressed deep frustration and disappointment toward the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) over the ongoing delays in the disbursement of their July salaries, compounded by long-standing unresolved welfare issues.
According to reports from the education sector, primary school educators are increasingly demoralized by a widening disparity in salary payment schedules within the state's public education system. While their counterparts in the secondary school axis reliably receive their monthly salaries on or before the 25th of each month, primary school teachers report that their pay arrival dates remain unpredictable and consistently delayed, causing severe financial strain for educators and their dependents.
In addition to the irregular salary payments, the affected teachers have raised urgent concerns regarding several critical welfare benefits that remain unfulfilled. Primary school teachers are yet to receive their statutory leave allowances for both the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years. The Educators lamented the continued barrier and inaccessibility to vital staff support initiatives, specifically car and housing loans, which are meant to cushion the economic realities of public servants.
The aggrieved teachers are urgently calling on the leadership of SUBEB, the Oyo State Ministry of Education, and Governor Seyi Makinde's administration to intervene immediately. They demand the harmonization of salary payment timelines with the secondary school axis, the immediate payment of the backlog of leave allowances, and transparent access to housing and vehicle loan schemes. Education stakeholders warn that if these persistent welfare challenges are not addressed promptly, they could negatively impact morale and productivity across public primary schools in the state.
