May Day: Teachers are disenchanted over poor salaries – Carbonu

He highlighted the dire living conditions many teachers endure, expressing deep distress over their current state of disenchantment and despondency.

Carbonu pointed out that the salaries of teachers do not align with the high cost of living in the country.

We work for several reasons, we work to enhance our society, keep the body active, and also for income.

But when you work for income and at the end of the day, the income doesn’t reflect the work that you do and doesn’t result in enhancement of your wherewithal, you gradually end up in a state of despondency.

He emphasized, “And that is what the situation is… From January to now, the true value of my income dwindled, because there’s a direct correlation between the value of money in this country and foreign currency

And that is the situation we find ourselves in.”

You realise that you return to negative, sometimes, you return to square one,” he stated.
