Kaduna Division of the The National Industrial Court of Nigeria, on Thursday ordered Kaduna State government to stop the planned sack of 21,780 primary school teachers who failed competency test, pending court injunction.

The teachers had in October dragged the government before the industrial court asking the court to restrain the government from dismissing or disengaging any teacher on the basis of the test conducted in June 2017.

The teachers’ counsel Samuel Atum, had equally filed a motion of “interlocutory injunction”, seeking stay of action pending the outcome of the case.

Meanwhile, Justice Lawal Mani granted the application pending the determination of the substantive suit and adjourned the case to February 6th, 2018.


Speaking with newsmen shortly after the court session, the plaintiff’s counsel lauded the court for graciously granting their prayers.

He said, “I have confidence that the government will comply and obey this order. This is democracy and the premise of democracy is the rule of law, so we expect nothing more than absolute submission by the state government to comply with the order of the court,”.

Lawyers representing the State Attorney General and the State Government, as well as Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN, declined comments.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Teachers present at the court were seen jubilating and congratulating themselves over the court injunction.

The planned sack of the 21,780 primary school teachers who failed the competency test had generated a lot of heat in the state, even though the state government had earlier vowed that it will not rescind its decision, as it claimed it was taking the best decision in the interest of the future of the primary school pupils.

FOODSTUFFS

We sell many food items to Igbo people and they make crazy profits when they take them back to the South. Agricultural products are a lot cheaper here compared to the south but i dont think i know anything about mining here.

Most vegetables and beef/cattle( im not into livestock though)

Inasmuch as I hate the #Recessionists, this singular act of Elrufai should not be politicised nor frustrated lest we put the future of our kids in jeopardy.

And these questions are so difficult?

why are you defending mediocrity?

Would you be here typing an intelligible thrash if such teachers had taught you?

Can we be rational and nationalistic for once

You should be ashamed of yourself. Im trying to point out how irrelevant the questions are and you are talking about difficulty. If the questions were good enough i would have been okay but questions like that show nothing about quality. The average person cares very little about the silly name of one commissioner in his state.

So no need in teachers being current?

For Adam's sake, we're talking teachers here not market women.

Pls hide your face

They are not average people. It's their jobs to know.

Haba

El Rufai may be a religious fanatic, but he's one of the best governors in Nigeria.

Illiteracy go tey for that State.

If these are the major questions, then they were intensionally put there for a purpose - to reduce the scores .

Non of the above question is relevant to determining how competent a teacher is .
I am not pervy to the actual questions and I am not a teacher in Kaduna, put frankly speaking, I can only answer two of these questions .
And I have never been asked any of these questions in an interview before

AZeD1:

It's the teacher's job to have a vast knowledge of the subject he teaches and the best method to teach it.
What has that got to do with a Commissioner's name ?

Elrufa'i I know will still go ahead with his plan

There should be a gradual disengagement of those teachers considering the economic implication of sacking 22000 workers in a state.

I dislike El Rufai, but if these teachers are left to continue, the future of the kids they tutor would be at stake. I would advise him to start with those who employed the unqualified teachers first. It will serve as a deterant to others in the recruitment process

But currency should be one of the qualities of a teacher. Shouldn't it?

You must be related to elrufai for you to be typing this nonsense. So not knowing those means that one is not qualified to teach primary students? Are you for real

If the teacher is not current, how can he teach the pupils currency?
