Two hundred and forty-five teachers in Jigawa State, whose salaries were suspended over various infractions, have signed undertakings with the government after apologising for their actions.
This followed a meeting convened by the Jigawa State Universal Basic Education Board on Monday at the NUT Conference Hall in Dutse, the state capital.
The teachers’ salaries were withheld in June 2025 after the Board discovered that they had abandoned their duties for extended periods—ranging from two months to three years—while continuing to receive salaries.
According to SUBEB records, some of the affected teachers even hired unqualified individuals to fill in for them.
