Kaduna State Restores Endwell Scheme as NUT President Commends Federal Government’s Education Efforts






Kaduna State has reinstated the Endwell scheme, a longstanding welfare program for teachers, drawing commendation from the National President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Comrade Titus Amba.

Speaking on the restoration of the Endwell scheme, Amba expressed gratitude to Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani for addressing the concerns of teachers. “The Endwell scheme has been a cherished initiative among Kaduna State teachers, providing housing and financial benefits upon retirement. Its reinstatement is a testament to the governor’s commitment to our welfare,” he stated.

Amba recalled Kaduna State’s pioneering role in adopting the Endwell scheme, which was introduced in 1999. “Kaduna State was the second state in the country to embrace the Endwell scheme, following Oyo. Teachers benefited greatly, with many acquiring homes and starting businesses,” he noted.

He further stressed the importance of supporting the governor’s policies and urged teachers to remain diligent in their duties. “We must be punctual and hardworking to ensure continued progress in teacher welfare,” Amba said.

The reinstatement of the Endwell scheme is expected to boost teacher morale and welfare in Kaduna State, reinforcing the broader national push to improve education standards and teacher support across Nigeria. “Let me use this opportunity to congratulate His Excellency Governor Uba Sani on his conferment of an honorary doctorate degree from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State. This is well-deserved recognition.”

The NUT National President also applauded the federal government’s commitment to prioritizing education across all levels. He highlighted the recent formation of a committee to strengthen Nigeria’s examination system, with a clear directive from the Minister of Education to eliminate malpractices. The committee, led by JAMB Registrar Professor Oloyede, is seen as a major step in ensuring credibility in examinations.
