Pay reinstated teachers their entitlements, NLC tells Kaduna govt

Nigeria Labour Congress Kaduna State Council has urged the State Government to pay the entitlements of the reinstated primary school teachers.

The Chairperson of the state Congress, Comrade Ayuba Magaji Suleiman
made the call in a press statement made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Thursday.

Comrade Suleiman also appreciated the decision of the Government in reinstating the disengaged teachers and other employees that were affected by the abrupt decision.

He lamented that the reinstated teachers were victims of a harsh and ill-thought-out action which had plunged many lives into quite unpleasant socio-economic conditions.

“In fact, the implication of the earlier action on the larger educational sector in the state is another unimaginable issue.

“Ask yourself, what do you think happened to the schools in rural areas where teachers were disengaged? What was the fate and what became of the educational aspirations of the students whose teachers were disengaged.

“Obviously, some of these schools had to be shut and some were forced to operate in the abysmal condition given the shortage of teachers and other manpower; a situation that has further widened the gap towards achieving quality basic education.

“To imagine that this had to linger for close to a year is something that is quite unthinkable, which undoubtedly is an indictment that calls to question the ineptitude of the leadership of the board” he lamented.
