Teachers commence indefinite strike in Oyo

Primary school teachers in Oyo State commenced an indefinite strike on Monday due to delay in payment of salaries and other requests.

The chairman, Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Oyo State wing, Samson Adedoyin, told Premium Times that the strike became necessary due to the inability of the state government to meet demands of the union.

The NUT had last week issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the Oyo State government to clear and settle the backlogs of salaries owed its members.

The union, while lamenting over unpaid salaries of primary school teachers, gave the state government 72 hours’ notice to address their challenges or face an indefinite strike action.
