The FCT wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT has directed its members across the six area councils to embark on an industrial strike from today, September 11, over non-payment of 25 months arrears.

They are also protesting the non-implementation of a 40 per cent peculiar allowance by the council chairmen.

The union gave the directive in a communique issued at the end of its emergency State Wing Executive Council meeting held at Teachers’ House in Gwagwalada.

The communique added that the council chairmen had also failed to pay other outstanding allowances, which they said included non-implementation of promotion arrears, non-upgrading of concerned teachers, non-implementation of annual increments, non-implementation of promotion letters released for teachers, among others.

The union vowed not to call off the strike until its demands are met while calling on parents across the FCT to remain guided by keeping their wards and children safe at home
