The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), yesterday, appealed to the Federal Government to float an intervention fund for private school teachers nationwide.

The call is coming on the heels of the approval of a new special salary scale for teachers in public primary and secondary schools by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The National President, Chief Yomi Otubela, made the appeal when he led other members of the association and the Association of Private School Owners of Nigeria (APSON) on a courtesy visit to the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, in Abuja.
