The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has said that the Supreme Court did not split the union into two autonomous bodies.
Speaking at the Niger State Working Executive Committee (SWEC) in Minna, the state capital Thursday, the state Chairman of the union, Ibrahim Umar, and the Principal Assistant Secretary, Labaran Garba, said there is a misconception and misinterpretation of the Supreme Court judgment that secondary school teachers have been given the legal right to form their own union — Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools.
To support their presentation, the NUT officials produced certified true copies including soft copies of the Supreme Court judgment of January 15, 2021 to delegates at the meeting.
