Kogi Government Approves New Retirement Age for Teachers

Kogi State government has approved 65 years as the new retirement age for teachers in public primary and secondary schools.

The State Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, said the approval arrived at the weekly executive council meeting.

Fanwo stated that the domestication of the 65years retirement age has put the state teachers at par with their counterparts at the federal level.

This is at variance with the 60 years retirement age for all civil servants at all levels in the country.
