Primary school teachers in Kogi State yesterday
embarked on an indefinite strike over the non-payment
of their two months’ salary arrears by the state
government. School pupils, who were enthusiastic about
their resumption after several months of staying at
home, were yesterday sent back home again.
In a communiqué signed by the state Chairman of the
Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Comrade Sulaiman
Abdulahi and the union’s Secretary, John Agber, the
union said the strike will continue until outstanding
salaries of teachers are paid.

A Non-Governmental Organisation, The Great
Transformation Support Initiative (GTSI), has petitioned
the Presidency, to intervene in the plight of primary
school teachers in Kogi State.
In a petition signed by Ambassador Ojie Mark Ojie, its
National Chairman, said the closure of primary schools
in the state is affecting the future of over 1.3 million
pupils and their teachers.
The petition which followed a complain made by Zacch
Jonathan, the State Coordinator of GTSI, on the plight
of Kogi Primary school teachers over five months unpaid
salaries, lamented the five months closure of primary
schools in the state.
The petition notes that primary schools were closed for
six months in 2011, five months in 2012, almost the whole
year in 2013 and now closed again with primary school
teachers vowing not to resume this year until their
demands are met.
The GTSI petition to the presidency,which was also
copied the National and State Chairmen of the PDP, as
well as the Kogi State governor, recommended that
aggrieved parties and SUBEB be reconciled as the
incessant strike is affecting the standard of primary
education in the state.
