The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Abia State chapter, has suspended its planned strike to allow continued negotiations with the state government.
The union, which had earlier issued an ultimatum over issues including salary structure, alleged premature retirements, and discrepancies in monthly imprest for school heads, said talks with government representatives are ongoing.
In a statement signed by NUT Secretary Nnenna Okonkwo, the union emphasized that Governor Alex Otti is not to blame for the teachers’ challenges and described him as teacher-friendly.
“In the spirit of good faith, we have agreed to temporarily withhold the strike to give room for further dialogue,” the statement said, while reaffirming the union’s commitment to teachers’ welfare and quality education.
