Kwara Teachers Begin Strike Dec 1 by Bimpe29: 9:19pm On Nov 26, 2015 |
Primary and secondary school
teachers in Kwara State, through the
Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, have
given December 1 notice of indefinite
strike over unpaid three months
salaries.
But the state chairman of Association
of Local Government Chairmen,
ALGON, in the state, Lateef Okandeji,
pleaded for understanding with the
government, attributing the problem
to the drop in the allocations.
NUT state chairman and secretary,
Musa Abubakar and Idris Ola,
respectively, in a statement yesterday,
said the union "is constrained to cry
out loudly on the non payment of
salaries of teachers in primary and
junior secondary schools in Kwara
state for three months."
The statement noted that teachers
should not be used as the scape goat
for the decline in the federal
allocations to states and the local
governments, stressing that, "after all,
this category of teachers did not enjoy
any special privilege when there was
surplus in the treasury of the
government.
"The primary school sub sector has
been facing a lot of avoidable agony
over the years partly as a result of the
attitude of the local governments not
to give priority to the funding of
primary education. We view this
neglect by the government as a clear
indication of the insensitivity of
government to the plight of over
twenty five thousand teachers in this
category." |
