Edo State Governor Obaseki has extended the retirement age for teachers in the state to 65 years or 40 years of service.

The State Head of Service, Anthony Okungbowa, in a statement, said the governor’s approval reinforces his unwavering commitment to building a solid foundation for repositioning the education sector.

He noted that the development will ensure that teachers with decades of experience are retained in service to contribute their quota in providing quality education to Edo pupils.
