The retired Principals added that the State government has done so much towards strengthening and uplifting standards not only in primary, post-primary but also in the higher education sector in the State generally.

The association praised the governor for what they called his administration’s benevolence and regard for the welfare of workers and retirees, especially through prompt payment of their salaries and pensions.

It enjoined all public servants to reciprocate the gesture by improving their productivity and giving loyal service.

Responding to the letter, Dr Wasiu Olatubosun appreciated the body of retired Principals for showing appreciation for the positive impacts of the policies of the present governor on education.
