ABIA: NUT Issues Ultimatum To Ikpeazu Over Unpaid Entitlements, Others | DETAILS

According to a letter dated May 5, 2022, addressed to the governor and signed by the NUT State Secretary, Comrade Mrs. Nnenna Okonkwo, primary and secondary public schools teachers 'met severally on the denial of entitlements, breached conditions of service and resolved to resume strike after the 14 days ultimatum elapse".

They lamented the unbearable conditions of primary and post primary school teachers in the state, recalling the industrial action the NUT Abia state embarked on in 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively.

The teachers noted that the strike were all suspended after agreements were reached by the state government to meet their demands. However, they regret that the government has failed to fulfill the agreement, rather 'more problems were created to the already existing ones".

The teachers pleaded with Governor Ikpeazu to do the needful and ensure that the situation does not degenerate to industrial disharmony.
