The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Federal Capital Territory wing, has suspended the ongoing indefinite strike by primary and secondary school teachers with immediate effect. The decision followed an emergency meeting after FCT Minister Nyesom Wike approved a N5 billion monthly commitment to address teachers' outstanding needs , N2 billion from FCT IGR and N3 billion from area councils' 10 percent IGR to implement the 40 percent peculiar allowance and settle outstanding entitlements.
Key Points:
- The strike began on April 20 over unmet demands.
- Wike also pledged to address promotion matters and review the 2024 promotion exercise.
- No teacher will be victimised for participating in the strike.
- Teachers have been directed to resume duties on Monday, April 27.
- The union will review its position if the administration fails to honour the agreement.
