The Vice-Chancellor of Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), Professor Bidemi Lafiaji-Okuneye, has stated that no teacher in the state earns less than N150,000 monthly.

The VC disclosed this during an event themed “Recasting Teaching as a Collaborative Profession,” which brought together teachers, education policymakers, and other stakeholders held at the university’s Ijanikin campus on Monday to commemorate the 2025 World Teachers’ Day.

The Vice-Chancellor emphasized that the welfare of teachers directly influences the quality of education, stressing the need to value and adequately compensate educators.

“When teachers are undervalued, underpaid, and unsupported, the entire educational edifice begins to crack.

“This reality often leads to brain drain, low morale, and a reduced appeal of the profession to bright young minds,” she said.
