The Delta State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers has commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for approving improvements to career progression for university graduate teachers in the state's public primary schools. The union hailed the move as a significant step towards enhancing teachers' welfare and bolstering the education sector.

In a letter to the governor, signed by the branch's Chairman and Assistant Secretary-General, Poubeni Dickson and Dan Basime, respectively, the union expressed delight at the decision.
