The Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), Prof. Bidemi Bilau, has disclosed that teachers employed by the Lagos State Government earn a minimum salary of N150,000 per month.
Prof. Bilau made the revelation during a media briefing at the university’s main campus in Ijanikin, Lagos, while addressing concerns about the declining interest of young Nigerians in the teaching profession.
According to him, the Lagos State Government has continued to prioritize the welfare of teachers through improved remuneration and regular capacity-building programmes. He noted that the government’s investment in education was aimed at attracting qualified individuals into the teaching sector and raising professional standards across schools.
“The least paid teacher in Lagos State earns about N150,000 monthly. This is part of the government’s deliberate effort to make the teaching profession more attractive and competitive,” he stated.
Prof. Bilau further emphasized that LASUED was working closely with the state government to ensure that future educators are well-trained, motivated, and equipped with modern teaching methodologies.
He added that with continuous reforms in the education sector, Lagos State remains a model for other states in promoting teacher development, welfare, and educational excellence.
