Unpaid salary nut begs kaduna teachers to shelve planned protest
It seems like there's a developing story in Kaduna, Nigeria. Here's a summary:
The Kaduna State Government has begged teachers in the state to call off their planned protest over unpaid salaries. The teachers, who are members of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), had threatened to embark on a strike starting from Monday, February 27, over the non-payment of their salaries.
According to reports, the state government has promised to pay the outstanding salaries of the teachers, which is estimated to be around N15 billion. The government has also appealed to the teachers to exercise patience and understanding, assuring them that efforts are being made to resolve the issue.
The NUT had given the government a 14-day ultimatum to pay the salaries, which expired on February 20. The union had threatened to take industrial action if the salaries were not paid within the stipulated time.
It's great to see that the government is taking steps to address the issue and prevent a strike. Let's hope that the teachers' salaries are paid soon and that the situation is resolved amicably.
