Update On Kaduna Primary School Teacher’s Salary With The Economy Hardship

Update on Kaduna primary school teacher’s salary with the economy hardship. It is just the 7 point that explains all about the Primary school teacher’s salary according to the Kaduna State Universal Basic Education Board.

1. Contrary to popular opinion, the Kaduna State Universal Basic Education Board wishes to categorically state that the State Government does not pay Primary School teachers’ salaries;

2. ⁠These salaries are being paid by their respective Local Government Councils through the Kaduna State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) after every Joint Accounts Allocation Committee (JAAC) meeting;

3. JAAC meetings are held monthly, once FAAC allocations have been received by each State Government. However, there was a delay in the release of LG funds ⁠for the month of February 2025 from the Federal Government, the delay thereby affected payment of salaries for the said month;

4. ⁠However, as at 26th March, 2025, ALL LGAs have remitted the FEBRUARY salaries to SUBEB and SUBEB have in turn made disbursements accordingly;

5. For the month of March, so far, 8 LGAs, namely Kaduna South, Soba, Lere, Makarfi, Kaduna North, Zaria, Kajuru and Sanga have REMITTED the salaries to SUBEB. While waiting for the other 15 LGAs to credit SUBEB’s account, the Board has since commenced processing for payment;

6. ⁠The Board is particularly aware of the timing and the inconveniences this delay might have caused, especially during this blessed month of Ramadan. Our team are working tirelessly to expedite the payment of March 2025 salaries with a target to complete all disbursements before the Eid Celebrations;

7. While we fully understand and apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused, the Board appreciates the patience and understanding of our dedicated teachers and staff during this period.
