Abia State Teachers Embark On Strike Over 6 Months Unpaid Salaries by kahal29: 5:49am On Apr 18, 2018 |
Teachers in Abia public schools have embarked on strike over six months salary arrears owed them by the state government. This was even as the teachers accused the state leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) of undermining the plight of members by always thwarting moves to ventilate their grievances. The strike led to shutdown of all government-owned primary and secondary schools in Abia, which were supposed to have resumed on Monday, for the third term academic session. A visit to some of the schools in Aba, including the Constitution Crescent Primary school, Abayi Girls Secondary School, Okigwe Road Primary and Secondary Schools, Girls Secondary Commercial School and Boys’ Technical College were all locked. Some teachers, who were seen at venues for the ongoing West African Examination Council exams and who would not want their names in print, for fear of victimisation, told newsmen they are on strike. “We are on strike, but, as you know, Abia State NUT strikes are usually funny. The leadership of NUT here is made up of people who betray the interest of members. By the time they finish their meeting with government and some money exchange hands, they’ll force us to go back to work; without our demands being met. “They’ve done it before and I don’t think this will be any different. We, as secondary school teachers, received our salaries last in November 2017. My colleagues in the primary schools got theirs last in January. Our leadership is the problem. They’re showing the government that Abia NUT is a toothless bulldog,” a teacher said, yesterday. When contacted, state NUT Chairman, Chizobam Akparanta said he could not speak on the matter as they were meeting with the Deputy Governor, Sir Ude Okochukwu. http://sunnewsonline.com/abia-teachers-on-strike-over-6-months-salary-arrears/ 1 Like 1 Share |

How on earth will corruption be minimized when the government fails to pay civil servants their dues? Owing workers 6 months salary is the height of official inhumanity! 16 Likes 2 Shares |

prela: Becos your mum was owned salary by your state doesn't mean others must be owed too. This is a black man's mentality and it will not help you. If your mum's and her colleagues are too docile to embark on a lawful industrial action then it is nobody's fault after all those that did in abia only exercise their rights within labour laws because as long as they have worked they must be paid 22 Likes 3 Shares |

The problem is funding for education is not as much as it used to be. So..three options 1.Abia govt increases school fees. 2.Abia govt increases taxes 3.Abia government takes a big loan from World Bank for 'projects' while money is diverted to pay salaries. 4.Abia govt starts making some secondary schols public private. |

Mutemenot:Owing workers salary is a condemnable wicked act. However, the report is not coherent as it states that they were last paid in November 2017 and January 2018. That doesn't make it 6 months. However, Okezie Ikpeazu must pay civil servants as owing them is gross wickedness to me. This also applies to all governors in Nigeria. 2 Likes 1 Share |

There was a thread somebody posted here some days back( can't seem to locate that thread) about this particular state oweing their workers salaries and pensioners. And some persons here were castigating him and saying all manner of unprintable statements and also accusing the mod of pushing that thread to FP. That guy has been vindicated!!! 8 Likes 1 Share |
