Another crisis of confidence between Edo State Government and primary school teachers in the state, who have participated in the last strike action declared by the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), as the teachers accused the state government of deducting their February salary over the strike.
The teachers, it would be recalled, had embarked on strike over non-implementation of series of their demands by the state government. The industrial action was, however, called off after five days.
While the industrial action lasted, the government had threatened to apply the “No work No pay Rule”, and It followed up the threat with a directive to Education Secretaries of the 18 Local Government Councils in the state, to process the deductions from the February salary of the primary school teachers.

The Christian Association of Nigeria in Kwara State has insisted that it will not allow its pupils to wear hijab, despite the Kwara State Government’s directive that Muslim female pupils in Christian mission schools should wear hijab.
The state government, last week, said it had approved wearing of hijab by Muslim female pupils in Christian mission grant-aided schools in the state.
It also said the 10 Christian mission schools closed down in the wake of the hijab crisis would be reopened on Monday, March 8.
However, the state branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria said it would not agree to the use of hijab in schools established by Christian missions, alleging that they were surprised that the government was trying to make a decision on a matter that was still before the Supreme Court.
