Kaduna NUT Suspends Strike, As El-Rufai Allows Sacked Teachers To Reapply

The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Kaduna State has canceled its inconclusive strike. The director of NUT Kaduna state section, Titus Amba, declared the canceling of the strike in an announcement mutually marked independent from anyone else and the associate secretary of the union, Adamu Ango.


The 10-day strike started on Monday, January eighth, in dissent of the sack of 21,780 instructors in people in general elementary schools by the state government for coming up short a dubious competency test in June 2017.

The body said the cancel ended up plainly essential after the legislature offered the sacked instructors another open door for thought under the State Universal Education Board (SUBEB) program of nonstop enrollment.

Some portion of the announcement read: “The State Wing Executive Council (SWEC) of NUT Kaduna commends the above decision of the governor and sees in it an opportunity to resolve the impasse between the teachers in Kaduna State and the state government; the end results of which will be an improvement in service delivery in our public schools.

In the light of the above, SWEC unanimously resolved to reciprocate the gesture of the Kaduna State government by calling off with immediate effect the indefinite strike embarked upon by teachers in the public schools and secondary schools in Kaduna State.

SWEC hereby extends its hand of fellowship to the Kaduna State government and implore it to always engage the NUT in all matters relating to the implementation of service delivery in the education sector and teachers’ welfare”.
