The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Edo State Wing, has defied today (Monday)’s resumption order of Governor Godwin Obaseki by asking parents and guardians to keep their children and wards from public primary schools.
It insisted that the indefinite strike started by Edo primary school teachers on January 18 was still in force.
Edo NUT, on Sunday in a statement by its Chairman, Pius Okhueleigbe, Assistant Secretary-General Mike Itua and three other members of the executive, said the union was resolute in ensuring that freedom for displeased primary school teachers must be now or never.
The statement said Edo NUT had not called off the indefinite strike, urging the public to ignore the misinformation and propaganda of the Obaseki administration.
