ASUSS Distributes 200 Cars, 8000 Tricycles To Members

The Academic Staff Union of Secondary School Teachers in
Nigeria in Ogun State has distributed 200 cars and 800 tricycles to members
under its “one teacher-one brand new car” scheme.

The vehicles and tricycles were distributed at the MKO
Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta on Tuesday.

Chairman of the
union, Mr Tunde Folarin, said that the scheme was geared toward
alleviating teachers’ economic plight and to uplift their social status.

Folarin promised that the union would do all within its
powers to improve the lot of its members, urging beneficiaries to adhere to the
repayment schedule.

He also appealed to Governor
Ibikunle Amosun, to re-open the 13 closed secondary schools because the
closure had affected some communities.

The chairman assured the State Government that the union
would complement the government’s efforts by donating furniture to the schools
if they were reopened.

Folarin said that union had already renovated two schools in
anticipation of their being re-opened, noting that they are Imodi-Ijasi
Comprehensive High School and Ikangba Community High School under Odogbolu
Local Government.
