Taraba Teachers' N5,000 Salary Deduction Sparks Controversy
The Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board (TSUBEB) has faced controversy over a N5,000 deduction from the salaries and arrears of primary school teachers in Taraba State. Affected teachers have questioned the legality and purpose of this deduction, which was discovered after payments were made.
Allegations surfaced on social media claiming that TSUBEB unlawfully removed the funds. TSUBEB responded by stating that the deduction was authorized and intended to finance the production of permanent identity cards for teachers, aimed at improving identification and administrative efficiency.
The initiative was discussed with the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) Taraba State Wing, which supported the plan. NUT Chairman Nathan Solomon confirmed that the arrangement was agreed upon in 2024, stating that the deduction would help establish accurate records of teachers and assist in future promotions.
He urged the public to verify information before sharing it, especially on social media.
