Edo Teachers Serve Govt Indefinite Strike Notice
There is imminent crisis in the education sector of Edo State, as teachers of primary and secondary schools, under the umbrella of Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), have served a 21-day ultimatum on the government to meet all their demands, or they embark on indefinite strike.
The ultimatum dashes the hope of students who are currently on vacation, as they may not resume classes with their counterparts in private schools, should the teachers make good their threat to go on indefinite strike.
The Union, in a nine-point communique signed by Messers Pius Okhueleigbe and Moni Mike Modesty- Itua, State Chairman and Acting Secretary respectively, said the ultimatum follows the expiration of a 45-day grace period it allowed the State government to engage it in mutual resolution of the challenges enumerated in a communique they issued at their executive meeting held last July.
The communique was issued at the end of the SWEC-in-session of the Union’s State Executive Council meeting held last Thursday in Benin-City, and it takes effect from Friday, 17th, August, 2018.
They said the ultimatum to embark on indefinite strike action to press home their demands arises from the failure of the the government to positively resolve all issues in contention with the Union.
Amongst the teachers’ demands are the financial implementation of the 2013 to 2015 primary school teachers promotions as approved by the State government, with the arrears of last January to July inclusive, as well as teachers who were deliberately omitted or denied the promotions by SUBEB.
