SOAKED roofs, broken floors, lack of toilet facilities and reptile- infested environment are some of the common sights that greet a first time visitor to most of the public primary and secondary schools in Bayelsa State, particularly in the hinterlands.

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.
