The Nigeria Labour Congress on Thursday, trooped out en-mass to oppose to the moves by the Kaduna State Government to sack about 22,000 teachers who scored below 75 per cent in a competency test.
The labour union also accused the Kaduna government of sacking the teachers so that it could access a loan from the World Bank.
The union had on Wednesday expressed solidarity with teachers in the state who began an indefinite strike on Monday over the sack of their colleagues.
The Kaduna government, on its part said it wants to sack incompetent and unqualified teachers. The teachers will be replaced by competent graduates appointed through a transparent process, the state government has repeatedly said. President Muhammadu Buhari has since declared support for the reform efforts.
