The leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Bayelsa State council has given Governor Henry Seriake Dickson a seven-day ultimatumbegining from September 12, to clear its outstanding arrears or risk an indefinite strike action.

Chairman of the Union, Kalama John Tompre, made this known to our correspondent yesterday in Yenagoa, the Bayels State Capital, via a telephone.

He declared his readiness to uphold the tenets of the union which has the training and retraining of teachers on its front burner. In his earlier resumption to office some weeks back at the union secretariat in Yenagoa, the chairman had described Hon. Seriake Dickson as an education friendly governor but wondered why teachers were left far behind in the scheme of things.

Tompre said the union would employ all arsenal within its reach to ensure complete payment of teachers’ salaries in the state, reverse of teachers marginalisation, payment of 18% minimum wage arrears, removal of obnoxious policies and absolute regulations that were detrimental to the progress of the education system such as shifting the responsibilities of primary school teachers to local government council.
