accorded with respect, honor and dignity. This enviable profession was a sort
of motivation to many teachers. Also not only afford life career and permanent
membership but also renders services to the public. It has code of ethics; the
code of ethics for teachers is contained in the handbooks of the Nigeria union
of teachers. They were revealed and give pride of place in the study. But
recently, the government and all its organs neglect teachers and the
educational sector, while motivation can be brought about by adequate
remuneration, fringe benefits and recognition. They can also be made to occupy
high social status in the society.

motivation was not really there, teachers still did their work conscientiously
producing desired result. There is no doubt before 1980 teachers started to
recognize their own worth and demand for their right when these was not forth
coming their attitude to their work began to change and this was the beginning
of the down word side in education in the country. It was also the beginning of

that if employers wants their employee to perform effectively they should
reciprocate by providing the necessary incentives for examples newspaper, daily
times in expressing the light of teachers work that it is totally unjustifiable
and well reasonable to notice bond treatment towards teachers.
Teachers arte the producers of the
following bank manager, oil miners, judge, chief accountant, lawyers, senators,
governors even the president. But it is the salary of the teachers that is
always delayed and it is the arrears of salaries to teachers that are usually
dumped in sides dustbins untouched at the school boards is in heaven. Thus they
succeeded in maintaining and improving educational standard as by Ubjuke

of the organization. An understanding of what motivate individual is necessary
