Nigeria Union of Teachers
The Edo State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) Tuesday said in spite of the order by the National Industrial Court (NIC), which restrained it from embarking on strike, its members will not go back to work.
The NIC, sitting in Benin City, had on Monday in a suit filed by the state government and the state Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) with Suit No. NICN/BEN/04/2021, restrained the NUT from proceeding on any strike in the state primary schools.
Reacting to the restraining order, the state leadership of NUT said it had not been served with any processes or documents of court injunction against the ongoing strike that commenced on January 18, 2021 when primary schools were expected to resume for academic activities.

The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Edo State Chapter, yesterday defied the state government’s directive to resume schools as primary school teachers stayed away from their classrooms.
The union also refused to heed the restraining order of the National Industrial Court (NIC), which ordered it to refrain from embarking on any strike action pending the determination of the substantive suit brought by the state government.
The Edo State Government (EDSG) in a statement signed last Thursday by the Secretary to State Government (SSG), Mr. Osarodion Ogie, had ordered public primary school teachers and school- heads to resume academic activities unfailingly on Monday, February 1, 2021 or risk forfeiture of their salaries.
