Edo NUT suspends 3 week-old strike
On
Nigerian Union Of Teachers
Public primary school heads and teachers in Edo, under the aegis of the Nigeria Union of Teacher (NUT), have suspended their three weeks industrial action over wage issues.
The union suspended the strike after an emergency State Wing Executive Council (SWEC) meeting in Benin on Friday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the union directed teachers to go on strike on Jan. 18, over non-payment or incomplete payment of 2013 to 2015 promotion arrears of some teachers.
The union also demanded reinforcement and guarantee payment of primary school teachers’ monthly salaries on or before the 27th of every month as directed by Gov. Godwin Obaseki.
