Some 2019 disengaged Kwara teachers, under the aegis of \u2018Sunset Teachers\u2019, have appealed to the state government to reconsider their plight and reinstate them.\n<\/p>\n

Deputy Coordinator of the Sunset Teachers, Mr Wasiu Yunusa, made the appeal at a news conference on Saturday in Ilorin.\n<\/p>\n

He explained that the affected teachers were employed in January 2019 toward the end of the previous administration.\n<\/p>\n

According to him, a total of 2,214 teachers were later disengaged from the services of the government of Kwara by the current administration.<\/p>\n

The state government, he however noted, reinstated some of the teachers, with about 1,220 others, still disengaged.<\/p>\n

Yunusa added that when the current administration came on board, the governor had assured them that they would not be punished for being employed late, by his predecessor.<\/p>\n

He said the governor had described them as his children, who did not deserve to be punished.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout a year after the assurance, we heard online that all workers engaged in 2019 had been disengaged,\u201d he lamented. <\/p>\n

The deputy coordinator of the disengaged teachers said members later had the opportunity to meet with the governor to seek clarification on the reason for the disengagement.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor later directed the affected workers to reapply, which they complied with, but most of us are yet to be reinstated,\u201d Yunusa said.\n<\/p>\n

The teachers\u2019 representative said since the disengagement, they had written several appeal letters to the governor for reconsideration.\n<\/p>\n

He asserted that many of the affected workers were with aged parents and other dependants to cater for, but currently unable to meet their family obligations.\n<\/p>\n

Yunusa appealed to the governor to look into their plight and reinstate them.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe firmly believe that under your compassionate leadership, our long awaited hope can become a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory will undoubtedly remember this act of mercy and justice, as one that restored lives, strengthened families and advanced the cause of education,\u201d he said. (NAN)\n <\/p>\n
