Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) wing has directed its members across the six area councils to embark on an industrial strike from today, September 11, over non-payment of 25 months arrears.

VerseNews reports that the union gave the directive in a communique issued at the end of its emergency State Wing Executive Council (SWEC) meeting held at Teachers’ House in Gwagwalada.

“The SWEC in-session resolved to direct all primary school teachers to embark on an infinite strike action from Monday, September 11, 2023,” the communique read in part.

The union vowed not to call off the strike until its demands are met while calling on parents across the FCT to remain guided by keeping their wards and children safe at home.

FCT minister Nyesom Wike is expected to wade into the issue to ensure children in the Nigerian capital’s public primary schools return to their classrooms in earnest.
