Oyo State NUT has suspended its indefinite strike following a security review and government consultations. Teachers are set to return to classrooms after the industrial action sparked by school security concerns in Ogbomosho.
The development was announced on Wednesday in a statement jointly signed by the state NUT Chairman, Hassan Fatai, and the union’s Secretary, Olukayode Salami.
According to the union, the decision to suspend the strike came after consultations and appeals by the Oyo State Government and other stakeholders.
The union added that it reviewed the prevailing security situation before deciding to call off the industrial action, paving the way for teachers to return to classrooms.
Myschoolnews had reported that the teachers had embarked on the strike in response to concerns over the abduction of schoolchildren in Ogbomosho in Orire Local Government Area of the state, citing the need for improved security measures in schools across the state.
