NUT Threatens Action Against States Not Implementing Wage

The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), represented by President Audu T. Amba, has issued a warning to states that have not yet implemented the recently approved minimum wage, indicating a potential mobilization of members against non-compliant states.

During the 19th quadrennial state conference held in Ilorin, Amba expressed that patience among teachers is wearing thin. He highlighted the union's commitment to ensuring that defaulting states do not remain unchallenged.

Despite these tensions, Amba commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his efforts to improve teacher welfare nationwide. The NUT also noted ongoing security concerns affecting schools, with hopes for improvements by the next academic session.

Additionally, the union called on Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to extend the retirement age for teachers from 60 to 65 years to retain experienced educators in the system.
