Oyo teachers go on indefinite strike over abducted colleagues and pupils

The Oyo State Wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, has gone on an indefinite strike beginning from Monday, June 1, 2026, till further notice. The State NUT Chairman, Comrade Hassan Fatai, gave the directive in a statement on Monday, June 1. Fatai said the industrial action is to protest against the continued captivity of abducted teachers and pupils in the state. The NUT added that the industrial action is also aimed at drawing the attention of government to the urgent need to intensify efforts toward securing the safe release of the abductees without further delay. The union called on all teachers to comply fully with the directive, remain law-abiding, and stay safe in their respective homes throughout the period of the strike. The action is intended to draw the attention of government and security agencies to the urgent need to intensify efforts towards the safe rescue of our colleagues and the pupils still in captivity, the statement said. This comes after President Bola Tinubu gave a directive on Sunday, May 31, for the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards to secure the release of the abducted teachers and students.The post Oyo teachers go on indefinite strike over abducted colleagues and pupils appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
