Osun: NUT Demands Payment Of Two Months Salaries
The leadership of
Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) Osun State chapter has called upon the state government to pay its members their November and December 2014 salaries.
Speaking to newsmen in Osogbo, Osun State capital last Wednesday, the state chairman of NUT Comrade Anludah Alade said the inability of the state government to pay their two months’ salaries had brought untold hardship to members of the NUT,
Alade said secondary school teachers in Osun state were yet to be paid their two months salaries, stressing that other categories of teachers had not received their January salary.
The union’s boss expressed regret that many of the union members could no longer feed their families, just as others had to walk long distances to and from schools daily, as they could not afford transport fares to their respective schools.
He said the union executive has urged the Osun State government to give payment of salaries topmost priority consideration stressing that NUT in the state was conscious of the financial situation of the state.
He explained that the union believes in meaningful dialogue with the state government on issues affecting the education sector in the state.
