  • The union has issued a warning that secondary school teachers will strike on January 22 if primary school teachers’ demands are not met by January 19, 2024.
  • Primary school teachers resisted an indefinite strike in September last year due to non-implementation of a 40% Peculiar Allowance and 25 months of minimum wage arrears.
  • Wike also set up a six-man committee to look into the issues and recommend solutions

.

The Nigerian Union of Teachers, NUT, Federal Capital area Wing, has directed primary school teachers in the area to continue strike on January 15.

Following the union’s emergency meeting of the State Wing Standing Committee, or SWSC, which was conducted in Abuja on Friday, a communiqué was released that included the directive.

Mr. Ibukun Adekeye, the state publicity secretary, Ms. Margaret Jethro, the state secretary, and State Chairman Abdullahi Shafas all signed the communiqué.

In addition, the union threatened to include secondary school teachers in the walkout starting on January 22 if primary school teachers’ demands were not satisfied by January 19, 2024.

Recall that the primary school teachers had embarked on an indefinite strike in September last year over the non-implementation of a 40 percent Peculiar Allowance and payment of 25 months minimum wage arrears, among other issues.

However, the strike was suspended for six weeks to allow for the resolution of the issues, following the intervention of the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.

Wike also set up a six-man committee to look into the issues and recommend solutions.

The teachers are now worried that the six weeks have elapsed with nothing positive achieved, even though the committee had submitted its report.

“Saddened by the suffering of the teachers and the nonpayment of the aforementioned entitlements, the SWSC has no other option than to direct all primary school teachers in FCT to resume the suspended strike.

“The union, hereby, directs all FCT primary school teachers to resume the suspended strike action with effect from Monday, Jan. 15, till further notice.

“Parents are advised to keep their children and wards in primary schools safe at home,” the NUT said.
