The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Wing, has directed all primary and secondary school teachers to join the ongoing indefinite strike.
The union said it acted on the directive of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which instructed all affiliate unions in the FCT to escalate the industrial action.
NUT said the move became necessary to ensure a united front, despite earlier reservations about the strike’s organisation.
