46 days after: Schools resume across Oyo state

The Nigeria Union of Teachers has suspended its withdrawal of services across Oyo State public schools following renewed engagements with the state government and assurances over measures to improve security after the abduction of teachers and learners in Oriire Local Government Area.

In a statement jointly signed by the union’s Oyo State Chairman, Hassan Fatai, and Secretary, Olukayode Salami, the union announced that the suspension followed a directive from its national leadership after reviewing the prevailing security situation and considering appeals by the Oyo State Government and other key stakeholders.

The union directed all public primary and secondary school teachers across the state to resume official duties from Thursday, July 2, bringing an end to the industrial action that was declared in response to the kidnapping of teachers and students in Oriire Local Government Area.
