The primary school teachers had initially embarked on an indefinite strike in September the previous year due to various issues, including the non-implementation of a 40 percent Peculiar Allowance and payment of 25 months minimum wage arrears. The strike was suspended for six weeks to allow for issue resolution, but the teachers are now dissatisfied with the lack of progress.JAMB Portal
