The Taraba State wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers has applauded the State’s governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas, for reinstating 16 teachers sacked 18 months ago by the immediate-past Governor Darius Ishaku administration over the Union’s election matter.
The Union also commended the governor for prompt payment of the 18-month salaries of the reinstated teachers, stating that the governor’s action has proven to the people about his readiness to improve the education sector in the state. The state chairman of NUT, Comrade Nathan Solomon, while speaking with journalists, said the union remained grateful to the governor on his quest to boost the state’s education sector.
He further called on the governor to pay the teachers another outstanding five-month salary arrears being owed them by the immediate-past administration even as he also urged Governor Kefas to prevail on the Taraba State Primary Education Board to remit the union’s check-up dues, which have been withheld for over two years.
“We have been running our union without remittance of checkup dues for over years years. The dues have been withheld by the State Primary Education Board, we are pleading with the governor to intervene in the matter,” Solomon stated.
