Primary school teachers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, under the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) have suspended the strike they embarked upon on November 18, 2021.
The reason for the strike was due to the failure of the area councils in the FCT to implement their promotional allowances.
The union had initially started with a five-day warning strike, which elapsed on November 24, when its secondary schools’ wing suspended its own.
Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Kubwa chapter, Ameh Baba, on Wednesday, told newsmen that pupils were expected to resume classes immediately.
Baba said the decision to suspend the strike was made possible following an intervention by the FCT Senator, Philip Aduda, and Muhammad Musa Bello, Minister of FCT who promised to resolve the issue amicably.
