As we all know that Teachers’ Day is a memorable day to honor with appreciation to teachers, this is because teachers work hard to help their students learn despite their difference in their area of specialization.
To honor this day, the Federal Government has made a motion to approve the sum of #75,000 as a stipend for each semester of students undergoing degree programmes in Education in any of the public universities in Nigeria.
