NUT DECLARES STRIKE IN SEVEN EBONYI LGAS OVER NON-PAYMENT OF SALARIES

February 7, 2025

The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) in Ebonyi State has declared an indefinite strike in seven local government areas due to the non-payment of four months’ salaries to some teachers.

A statement released by NUT Secretary, BASSEY ASUQUO, revealed that the affected LGAs were listed as Ebonyi, Edda, Ezza South, Ezza North, Ivo, Ishielu, and Ohaukwu.

The state chapter of NUT lamented that several local government chairmen have failed to clear the backlog of the members’ outstanding salaries, necessitating the strike action.

It therefore directed its state and branch officers in the affected LGAs to strictly enforce the strike from 12:00 a.m. yesterday, February 6, 2025, while calling on members to remain steadfast and continue organizing and maintaining solidarity picket lines and monitoring compliance across the affected localities”.
