Vice President Yemi Osinbajo stated this while hosting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Oluwabunmi Anani,  Maltina Teacher of the Year, 2020 Winner, as part of 2021 World Teachers Day celebration.
He explained that there were also moves to employ teachers into the public service starting from level 8 as against level 7, noting that President Muhammadu Buhari had shown tremendous concern about teachers and how to improve the lot of teachers.
Osinbajo added that the states had a role to play as issues of primary and secondary education were essentially the function of states.
Earlier, Anani explained that she had served at Government Girls Secondary School, Yola, Adamawa state, as a youth corps member.
She noted that as an English Language teacher, she had prepared the students who performed excellently in examinations over the years.
