The Abia State Standing Committee of the Nigeria Union of Teachers has concluded plans to embark on strike action on Thursday over what they described as “stringent measures on teachers” by the state governor, Alex Otti.
They stated that the government and education stakeholders have refused to treat them well, they lamented that:
(1) teachers in Abia state are not paid the minimum wage in March and the teachers salary structure wasn’t used
(2)Teachers are still being retired by ASUBEB, despite His Excellency’s approval of the 65 years/40 years service extension. Promotions are released haphazardly without coordination.
(3)Non-payment of arrears to teachers in basic schools remains part of the problem. Since their colleagues in SEMB have started receiving parts of their arrears, it would be justifiable for basic school teachers to be considered as well.”
The strike action is expected to begin on Thursday, 24/04/2025.
