In a message posted on Facebook and Twitter to mark the 'World Teacher's Day'
on Wednesday, the senator representing Bayelsa east, Ben Murray-Bruce,
has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government for a
reduction in the salaries of politicians.
The chairman of Silverbird group who lamented the plight of
teachers, saying they deserve better pay, added that Nigeria would be a
better country if teachers were properly remunerated.
“Nigeria has some of the highest paid politicians and some of
the lowest paid teachers. Flip this equation and Nigeria will develop.
“On this World Teachers Day, I thank Nigeria’s teachers and
urge that salaries of politicians be reduced so that teachers’ salary
can be increased!
“Teachers are much more relevant to the progress of Nigeria
than we politicians. A well paid teacher is a better teacher but is a
well paid legislator a better legislator?,” he wrote.
