THE National leadership of Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has threatened to down tools if decisive actions are not taken to address the ugly trend, saying it is highly disturbed by the re-emerging incidence of school invasion and abduction of teachers and students across the country’s educational institutions.
NUT Secretary-General, Dr Mike Ike Ene, while reacting to the invasion of Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State, by armed men in a statement on Tuesday, called on the Federal Government to ensure the safe release of the students and teachers held in captivity.
He said it was unfortunate that the current administration has failed to secure the lives of Nigerians and innocent school children who often become prey to the attackers.
The body threatened to go on strike if attacks on schools is not halted.
“In light of these recent developments, the Nigeria Union of Teachers may be compelled to down tools pending when it is safe for our members to teach and guide our pupils and students without fear of abduction by these faceless enemies of educational prosperity of the Nigerian Nation,” the statement said.
The teachers’ body maintained that the recent condemnable events of bandits’ attack on schools, if not immediately addressed, will largely affect the 2019/2020 academic calendar, which has already been disrupted by the six month long lock down caused by the COVID- 19 pandemic.
