He explained that the money was to help teachers engage in various developmental activities and help them build points towards promotions.

“As we speak to you today, it has been processed for payment for this month,” Prof. Opoku-Amankwa told journalists.

He explained that the payment delayed until now because “we had to go through the process, sign an agreement to it before we can start payment”.
