Teachers To Get Free Tertiary Education – Prof. Yemi Osinbajo

Vice President-elect, Professor Yemi Osinbajo yesterday said teachers in the country’s public schools will get free tertiary education when the next administration is sworn in on May 29, this year.

Osinbajo disclosed this during a consultative meeting with Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State and members of Nigerian Union of Teachers, NUT in Ikeja.

The vice president-elect lamented that “one of the basic problems confronting education in the country was lack of training for teachers especially those in the public schools.”
