THE Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has insisted that it will not relent in its struggle to ensure implementation of the agreed 27.5 per cent Enhanced Allowance to teachers in all states of the federation.
NUT president, Mr Michael Alogba Olukoya, told Nigerian Tribune in Abuja, on Thursday, that only six states were still foot-dragging on payment of the package to their teachers.
He listed the six states to include Edo, Ekiti, Ogun, Zamfara, Kogi and Ebonyi.
He said it was a fight to finish and that NUT would not contemplate calling of the strike in those states.
Olukoya said the union had accordingly directed the respective state wings concerned to intensify the strike in pursuit of eventual “emancipation of the downtrodden, deprived and oppressed teachers.”
He also noted some of the affected states were yet to implement the N18, 000 national minimum wage for teachers, while other categories workers in the states had already been paid.
