The Nigeria Union of Teachers
(NUT) Kaduna Wing has called off the indefinite strike action they embarked
upon 10 days ago in all state public schools.
The NUT Chairman, Comrade Audu T.
Amba disclosed this on Thursday after an emergency meeting of the State Wing
Executive Council (SWEC)
It would be recalled that the NUT
declared an indefinite strike action over sack of teachers who failed the
competency test.
The state chairman stated that
the NUT supports the State Government in the quest towards qualitative
education in the state.
He said, “The state wing of the
NUT, Kaduna state met today 18th January, 2018 to review the situation in the
light of the pronouncement of the Kaduna state government which was broadcast
on the state media outfit the KSMC.
“The broadcast which is to the
effect that the State government after a meeting with the interim chairman and
Education Secretaries of the 23 local government s has decided to give the
21,780 teachers who did not pass the recent competency test another opportunity
for consideration under the State Universal Education Board (SUBEB) program of
continuous recruitment that will give every willing teacher a chance to apply.
“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 action 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”. The teachers’ leadership also commended
her members for remaining united and resolute in the struggle, and the
leadership of the Labour movement in Nigeria and the NGIs and general public
who identified with them during their principled struggle.”
