The Nigeria Union of Teachers directed public school teachers across Oyo State to withdraw their services beginning June 1.
The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has directed all public primary and secondary school teachers in Oyo State to withdraw their services from Monday, June 1, following the abduction of teachers and students in Oriire Local Government Area.
The union said the action was taken in protest against the continued insecurity affecting schools and the safety concerns raised by the recent abduction incident.
The directive affects teachers across public schools in the state and comes amid growing concern over the security situation surrounding educational institutions in the affected area.
According to the union, the decision reflects the need to draw attention to the welfare and safety of teachers and students who continue to carry out academic activities under challenging circumstances.
The development follows the reported kidnapping of pupils and teachers from schools in Oriire Local Government Area, an incident that has triggered responses from both state and federal authorities.
As of the time of reporting, the union maintained that the withdrawal of services would commence as scheduled while attention remains focused on efforts to secure the release of those abducted.
