A new bill to increase the retirement age of teachers across the country was on Wednesday approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

The bill seeks to increase the retirement age of teachers from 60 to 65 years and also increase the possible years of service from 35 to 40 years.

The bill will now be sent to the parliament for the proper legislative process before it can become law, the education minister, Adamu Adamu, told journalists in Abuja after the FEC meeting.
