I want teachers to own houses – New Adamawa NUT chairman
The newly elected chairman of the Adamawa State chapter of Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, Abubakar Mohammed, has identified a campaign to make teachers own their own houses as his priority.
Mohammed, who has assumed office after his election earlier last week, told newsmen in Yola at the weekend that empowerment of teachers to achieve long lasting milestones is dear to his heart.
He, along with other NUT officials elected during the November 29 delegates conference of the union, will hold office for the next four years.
The NUT chairman while addressing reporters mainly from local media covering NUT activities, said he was elected based on the confidence that he could squeeze water out of stones and revamp the union.
He stressed that he is determined not to disappoint teachers.
“The issues of promotions, training and retraining of teachers, accessibility to soft loans for members to own houses and cater for their families in this hardship are some of my priorities,” the NUT chairman told the newsmen.
Leader of the NUT media delegation, Samaila Yunusa urged the new NUT Chairman to deploy his wealth of experience in entrepreneurship to reactivate the union to push for better working conditions for teachers.
Among the other new officials of NUT in Adamawa State are Deputy Chairman: Steven Ayuba; Internal Auditor: Tukur Yakubu; and Social Secretary: Dina Adamu.
