The Ministry of Education has refuted claims circulating on the Opera News platform that the Minister for Education, Alhaji Haruna Iddrisu, announced plans to introduce a 13th-month salary for teachers.
In an official statement, the Ministry described the report as false and misleading, stating unequivocally that the Minister has made no such announcement at any public forum or official engagement. The Ministry characterized the publication as a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and falsely attribute statements to the Education Minister.
While reaffirming the government’s commitment to improving the welfare and working conditions of teachers, the Ministry emphasized that no proposal for a 13th-month salary has been introduced or supported by Hon. Haruna Iddrisu.
The Ministry has called on Opera News to retract the publication and issue a public apology to both the Minister and the public. It further advised the public to disregard the report and avoid sharing unverified information, assuring that all official policies and announcements will be communicated solely through the Ministry’s recognized and authorized channels.
