Lucky stated that the teachers in Kuje were no longer willing to be taken for granted unless the Chairman of the Kuje Area Council met their demands.

He said, ”The union observed with dismay the non compliance by the Council Chairman to address the backlog of the Local Education Authority teachers’ outstanding entitlements.”

The NUT chairman added that the union had sent a letter to Sabo, with a reference number, NUT/169/5/138, dated 3/1/2023, while a letter of ultimatum dated 2/12/2022, was also sent to him.NYSC portal

Lucky said, “In view of the above, the union leadership is calling on all LEA Primary schools teachers in Kuje Area council to proceed on an indefinite strike action with effect from Monday, 9th Jan, 2023, until further notice.

“LEA Kuje primary school teachers are hereby directed to comply with this directive, please.”

According to Lucky, the union’s branch and state organisations requested a meeting with the Council Chairman based on these demands, but he refused.

He confirmed that the union had ordered all primary school teachers in the area to remain at home, while parents were instructed to keep their children and wards safe at home.

NAN’s efforts to obtain Sabo’s remarks were futile because he did not return multiple phone calls to his line and did not respond to two SMS messages sent to him.

However, Alhassan Sule, Chairman of the FCT Universal Education Board, stated that the board was doing everything humanly possible to resolve the problem amicably.

Sule said, ”And I was telling the chairman that he should not allow only his local government to experience such an unfortunate situation.

”We are on top of the situation and we will soon convene a meeting between the union, the Area Council and the board with a view to finding plausible solutions to the problem.

”Education is very crucial as it is the foundation of every development and the FCT is not handling it with kid gloves.”JAMB Result
