Following the recent abduction of over 300 students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike if the Federal Government fails to improve security around schools across the country.
This was disclosed in a statement released on Tuesday, December 15 by the Secretary-General of NUT, Dr. Mike Ene. The Union decried the re-emerging incidence of schools invasion and abduction of teachers and students across the country’s educational institutions, and called on the government to ensure 24-hour adequate security.
The union further stated that, if the security issue isn't properly handled, it could lead to a disruption of school activities and alter the 2019/2020 academic calendar.
