Teachers in Ogun state are not smiling as they have embarked on the first strike action in 2015 over failure of the state government to meet their demands.
The strike, which was called by the Ogun State chapter of the Nigerian Union of Teachers, NUT and the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools, ASUSS has resulted in the shutting of public primary and secondary schools in the state.
The secretary of the NUT in Ijebu-Ode, Olajide Ogunleye, while speaking on the strike action says the action was in compliance with the unions’ directive as communicated to all chapters.
According to him, the state wing of the NUT had served the state government the notice of strike since January 9 and all efforts by NUT and ASUSS to ensure that the state government implemented the contents of the MOU it signed with the unions since 2013 failed.
Some of these demands include, non-payment of some teachers’ salaries, non-payment of 2014 leave allowances and non-recognition of university degree holders in primary schools in Ogun among others.
