Kaduna teachers dare el-Rufai, begin indefinite strike

Some teachers in Kaduna state refused to return to work on Monday in compliance with the directive of the state chapter of the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT).



The union had asked its members to stay away from work in protest of the decision of the state government to sack over 21,000  teachers who failed a competency test last year.

But Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, warned teachers to ignore the directive or comply with it at the risk of losing their jobs.

TheCable observed that while some schools were open after the Christmas and New Year break, others were under lock and key.

Schools like Aliyu Makanma Model Primary School, Barnawa, LEA Primary School, New Millennium City and LEA Primary school, Narayi, among others were deserted when this newspaper visited on Monday.

An official of the NUT, who did not want to be mentioned, said a task force constituted by the union was set up to ensure total compliance.

But at LEA primary school in Sabon Tasha, GRA, teachers were seen discussing in groups while pupils played inside the school compound, around 8:3oam.

“We are aware of the strike, but we have not received any letter. We are waiting for an official letter from our union, as soon as we received it, we will leave” one of the teachers said.

Also at the Government Secondary School, Kakuri near St. Gerald Catholic hospital, teachers reported to work.

“We came to school because today is resumption date. We heard about the strike, but we have not received any circular regarding the strike. As soon as we receive the circular, we will comply” a teacher, who refused to be named, said.

The NUT official said it was possible that some of the teachers who reported to work did not receive the circular.


“But our task force is going round to distribute the circular and to tell our members to go home until they hear from our leadership,” he said.

    The Ogboni Fraternity is regarded by some as the most powerful secret
    organization in Nigeria. According to the Nigerian Constitution, you
    cannot be a member of a secret cult and run for office of the
    President of the Federal Republic. This has not stopped rumours from
    flying about that some former Nigerian presidents are devoted members
    of this cult. At any rate, this piece is on how one of the secret
    membership forms of the Ogboni Fraternity in Nigeria looked like in
    July 1955. That was five years before Nigeria got independence and
    precisely 60 years ago. The form has an insignia of a skeleton, a
    coffin and a club. Some Christian priests and imams also held these
    cards as members. The membership form had spaces for name, sex, age,
    education, tribe, family history, occupation, financial position, any
    other society the person belonged to, the name of the nominator, the
    date of membership and the name of the president. Curiously, there was
    no space for the religion of the member. Ogbonis do not consider
    religious affiliation and anyone is free to join irrespective of
    religious leanings. of you are really sincere to join contact GREAT

  2. How can teachers failed the test of what they suppose to teach the students.

    Those that support them are EVIL and jeopardizing the future of the students. Those teachers affected should go back to farm or business.
