Kaduna Division of 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.

What those teachers really need is orientation and scrutinization, not SACk!.

Hell rufai only want to replace the sack teachers with the more incompetent gambaris.
