Ogun Teachers Suspend Strike by Mayour11(m): 9:59am On Jan 28, 2015
Teachers in Ogun State have suspended the
3 week old strike embarked upon to press
home their demand for the payment of a
27.5% peculiar allowance.
This followed the signing of an agreement
today between executive of the Nigeria
Union of Teachers (NUT) led by its State
Chairman, Comrade Dare Ilekoya and the
State Government side headed by the Head
of Service, Mrs. Modupe Adekunle. The
government after considering the plea by
representatives of the NUT agreed to pay
15% of the basic salaries of teachers as
peculiar allowance with effect from the
beginning of next month with an assurance
that all other demands would be attended
to in due course.
The agreement also added that no teacher
would be victimized for whatever role
played while the strike lasted. Speaking
after signing the agreement, the Chairman
NUT, Comrade Ile koya appreciated
Governor Ibikunle Amosun for considering
the 1st of July effective date and the
promise for further negotiation as the
finance of the State improves.
He promised teachers’ continued support
towards improving the education sector,
calling on all teachers in both primary and
secondary schools in the State to resume
work immediately.
“We have seen that truly the finances of
the State for now cannot go beyond the
payment of 15%, we have to be considerate
and then suspend the strike for peace to
reign in the education sector, and on that
note we want to implore our teachers in
both primary and secondary schools to
resume work immediately” Ilekoya
directed.
Also in her reaction, the Head of Service,
Mrs. Adekunle lauded union leaders for
their understanding and cooperation in
resolving the issues, affirming that the
outstanding promotion among other issues
raised were already being attended to.
