[00:03:21] of stress that members have waited sufficiently
[00:03:24] of for the benefits of
[00:03:25] of an agreement already concluded and therefore demanded immediate and
[00:03:29] full compliance. within the stipulated
[00:03:32] a periods, failure by
[00:03:33] of the federal government to meet this demand within
[00:03:36] of 14 days from today, it will compel the union
[00:03:40] to resume total, comprehensive and
[00:03:44] indefinite strike without further notice. The Nigerian Union of
[00:03:47] Teachers is asking
[00:03:49] of government at all levels to prioritize the security of schools across the country
[00:03:53] to mark the 2026 World Teachers Day. No
[00:03:57] teachers should have to work in fear. the increasing in
[00:04:00] security, the increasing security challenges confronting schools in some parts of
[00:04:04] Nigeria constitute a serious threat to education, we call on
[00:04:08] government at all level to strengthen the security of schools, teachers and
[00:04:12] learners and to make safety of school a permanent
[00:04:16] component of education. President
[00:04:18] of Bolatinu declared three days of national morning for Nigerian air force
[00:04:22] personnel who died in Monday's military aircraft crash in
[00:04:26] Undo
[00:04:26] of State,
[00:04:27] in a
[00:04:28] of statement of from the president's special advisor on information and
[00:04:31] strategy, Mr. Bayor Nanuga. The President also directed
[00:04:35] that flags be flown at half-mast
[00:04:38] of across the country, as a mark of respect for the deceased officers,
[00:04:42] while directing the Nigerian Air Force to immediately investigate the cause
[00:04:45] of the crash. The Nigerian Air Force ATR-42
[00:04:49] aircraft crashed near a narval base in the Ibukoda area of
[00:04:53] Undo State while a routine mission from Benin Ed
[00:04:56] State to Lagos. The aircraft had 25. passengers
[00:05:00] and seven crew members on
[00:05:02] of board. the federal government says Nigeria risks the
[00:05:05] previous unsustainable regime of fuel scarcity,
[00:05:09] inflation, gradual economic collapse, printing of
[00:05:13] and global downgrade by international agencies if
[00:05:16] subsidy is returned. the minister of finance and coordinating
[00:05:20] minister the economy, professor, stated
[00:05:24] this during media briefing in Abuja, a subsidy must be
[00:05:27] financed through salaries and pensions not
[00:05:31] paid on time, through higher taxes or through
[00:05:35] the printing of money like we saw before this current
[00:05:38] administration, over 30 trillion was sp.
[00:05:43] removing subsidy has never meant doing
[00:05:46] nothing,
[00:05:48] over the past three years the government has acted to moderate
[00:05:51] prices in ways that are
[00:05:54] sustainable: one, local
[00:05:57] refining, and somebody will say, but it wasn't government that
[00:06:00] built it, and I will say yes, that's correct, but
[00:06:04] deregulation made domestic refining
[00:06:07] viable, that is why supply has held,
[00:06:11] why other countries. for scarse
[00:06:13] cargos. Vice President Kashim Shetima says a new bill is
[00:06:17] being pushed forward to instill strict accountability and shield the
[00:06:21] nutrition budgets from future courts. He stated this during the
[00:06:25] Nigeria Ethiopia Nutrition Leadership Exchange Forum in Addis
[00:06:29] Ababa, Ethiopia. Nigeria's 26 million
[00:06:32] dollars commitment to the Chiland Nutrition pond attracted matching
[00:06:36] ground and looking $52 million dollars and
[00:06:40] since 2023. which one states have contributed
[00:06:44] 6.3 million dollars for supplies preventing and
[00:06:47] treating malnutrition. our nutrition financing subcommittee
[00:06:51] seks domestic resources. the proposed presidential nutrition
[00:06:55] investment pond will provide catalytic
[00:06:58] financing. we can only claim that our
[00:07:01] budget fulfills its purpose when it nourishes a child. this
[00:07:05] is why Nigeria is strengthening the system that connect public
[00:07:09] spending to measurable outcomes through local scorecards. The
[00:07:12] Independent National Electoral Commission has commenced the 100 day
[00:07:16] countdown to the 2027 General Election with an
[00:07:20] appeal for the release of outstanding funds for the general
[00:07:23] election. The INEC chairman made the appeal at the
[00:07:27] stakeholders conference in Abuja. Contracts have been
[00:07:31] awarded and production is advanced for
[00:07:34] 57,000
[00:07:36] new beavers devices, additional voting cubicules
[00:07:39] and ballot boxes. some the newly
[00:07:43] acquired beavers have been delivered,
[00:07:46] upgrades to critical ICT applications and core
[00:07:50] infrastructures are being implemented. some states have started
[00:07:54] receiving some non-sensitive materials ahead the
[00:07:57] election.
[00:08:03] at the heart the FCT labor dispute a unresolved welfare
[00:08:06] demands, outstanding allowances and the implementation of newly approved
[00:08:10] minimum wage adjustments. the This is the highlight of FCT in
[00:08:14] focus.
[00:08:21] Abuja, the glittering hot beat of Nigeria's administrative power, but
[00:08:25] beneath the polish asphalt the capital city lies simiring
[00:08:28] structural crisis. On Wednesday, October 7,
[00:08:31] 2026, the engine room the nation's capital ground to a
[00:08:35] halt. Members the FCT Council the Nigerian Labor Congress
[00:08:39] imbacked on an indefinite industrial action. These. was the expiration of
[00:08:43] seven-day ultimatum issued to the FCT administration by the council over
[00:08:47] the teachers promotion policy the administration. the policy
[00:08:51] governed by the FCT civil service commission and FCTA guidelines
[00:08:55] state that teachers are evaluated based on three primary
[00:08:58] criteria, a minimum number of years and service, a
[00:09:01] minimum cut of mark on examinations and the availability of
[00:09:05] vacancies. we call the attention to it, but nothing was done, and before we
[00:09:09] know it, they gave us a 22.5%
[00:09:13] success rate and we know that we are not dones in
[00:09:17] the FCT and we know that this is not what should be, so it's
[00:09:21] part of our agitation. teachers in the federal
[00:09:25] capital territory have been involved in recurring industrial actions
[00:09:28] especially in recent times. some the points of grivances
[00:09:32] include unpaid salaries, minimum wage areers, career
[00:09:36] stagnation and welfare issues. a timeline the strikes
[00:09:39] include in late 2024, teachers launch a strike
[00:09:43] lasting about three weeks over area council non-payment of salary
[00:09:47] arrays and minimum wage dispute. in the second quarter of
[00:09:51] 2025, major three to four month indefinite strike,
[00:09:55] shut down public primary schools demanding payment of nine months of minimum
[00:09:59] wage areas among others. the teachers also embacked on strike
[00:10:02] between march and april this year over on resolve promotion and
[00:10:06] entitlement to
[00:10:07] demand. the
[00:10:10] fct minister eventually inter which led to the suspension the
[00:10:14] strike,
[00:10:16] this continuous
[00:10:20] strikes, it really affects our
[00:10:23] children. but
[00:10:28] that being what are
[00:10:29] be known intervention as far as the
[00:10:32] concerns the payment of
[00:10:36] allowances of salaries
[00:10:39] to
[00:10:41] the the which is
[00:10:44] responsibility
[00:10:47] the areal councils probably I will
[00:10:51] have a more information information.
[00:10:55] if the leader of
[00:10:57] delegation or let me start
[00:11:01] with so
[00:11:02] i will no where we are and what are the
[00:11:05] issues now because i know we
[00:11:08] have met somebody we have met with the honorable minister of
[00:11:11] fct to put before
[00:11:15] him the problem that has the devilled the teachers of
[00:11:19] fct both at the primary school level, the junior secondary school
[00:11:23] level and senior secondary school level. In
[00:11:26] fact, we had very, very fruitful discussions with the honorable
[00:11:30] minister on the issues we have tableed before
[00:11:33] him, and we want to appreciate
[00:11:36] him for his giant stride in FCT, he is into
[00:11:40] renovating and restructuring some of our
[00:11:43] schools, that is
[00:11:46] pathway, the rights of
[00:11:50] our members are been discussed and been
[00:11:54] settled. "the only
[00:11:58] area where we have greater problems is the area the primary
[00:12:02] school teachers where their rises
[00:12:05] entitlements have
[00:12:08] shortcoming,
[00:12:10] but with our meeting of
[00:12:13] today we are going to make
[00:12:16] headway and our counterparts at the print school
[00:12:20] level will equally feel the impact the
[00:12:24] government." "we are not going to talk too
[00:12:27] much, we have seen
[00:12:29] him, we will have to go back to our house,
[00:12:33] sit down, look
[00:12:37] at what we have discussed with him and know the
[00:12:41] last line of actions. in the latest industrial action,
[00:12:45] the FCT council the Nigerian Labor Congress is in solidarity with the
[00:12:48] teachers, they are demanding the following: abolition the
[00:12:52] vacancy precondition for teachers promotions. reconsideration of
[00:12:56] eligible 2025 candidates to sit for examinations alongside the
[00:13:00] 2026 bch. For now, the NLC is directing this
[00:13:03] enforcement committee to ensure strike compliance across the nation's
[00:13:07] capital. The minister the federal capital territory, yes on wike has
[00:13:11] dismissed the indefinite teachers and work a strike as unnecessary and
[00:13:15] politically motivated, following a meeting with the six area council
[00:13:18] chairman. Wik asserted at all previously agreed demands regarding
[00:13:22] promotions and welfare already being. commented accusing
[00:13:26] union leaders of politicizing labor disputes to create crisis in the
[00:13:30] capital, the minister directed the council chairman to strictly
[00:13:33] enforce no walk, no pay policy for all participating
[00:13:37] walkers, want to st categorical to
[00:13:41] the
[00:13:41] politics
[00:13:50] accept a accepted
[00:13:52] because
[00:14:56] that teacher has listen, if anybody go does
[00:15:00] this, wemplement, no work, no
[00:15:03] pay, enough is enough, you
[00:15:06] can continue what they
[00:15:06] say,
[00:17:15] Welcome back, as the MCT navigates a critical period marked by
[00:17:19] intense conversations around the teacher welfare, union independence and
[00:17:23] educational stability, members the academic staff union of
[00:17:27] secondary schools have taken a definitive stance on keeping secondary
[00:17:31] classrooms open while aggressively pursuing diplomatic
[00:17:34] resolutions for its members, my guest is a spokes person the
[00:17:38] union comrade ebank
[00:17:40] Johnson.
[00:17:46] comerade ibiank siril Johnson, thank you for joining us on dateline abuja. i
[00:17:50] think the best place to begin this conversation would be on the ongoing indefinite
[00:17:54] strike as um expressed by NUT.
[00:17:58] now what is your association distance in itself from this
[00:18:02] ongoing indefinite strike? thank you very much for
[00:18:05] having me on the studio. um, first of all, I want
[00:18:09] to believe that - unionism is
[00:18:13] voluntary and the as much as I
[00:18:16] know, Asus is
[00:18:19] affiliate body with
[00:18:22] TUC, Trade Union Congress
[00:18:24] and um, AUT happened to
[00:18:28] be affiliate body of um NLC, and
[00:18:32] so we are two distinct uh union bodies
[00:18:36] and situation where a strike is
[00:18:39] declared, we look it as
[00:18:42] inappropriate buse, it's been wrong time, wrongly
[00:18:46] timed, and um, we refuse to
[00:18:50] embark on it because the conditions for which this
[00:18:53] strike was declared, so we we see
[00:18:57] no reason to be part of it, because we are asus, they are
[00:19:01] nut, and majorly, let me put it clearly,
[00:19:05] though unionism is voluntarily, you know, but
[00:19:09] that our members or some of our some the teachers, secondary school
[00:19:12] teachers are members of NUT does not mean
[00:19:16] that at every point in time strike is declared, without consulting
[00:19:19] us, we just join you when we have no
[00:19:23] reasons to join the strike, that is the reason ASUS is not part
[00:19:26] the strike, but but there's a major concern here,
[00:19:30] mean you asking teachers to ignore the directive of
[00:19:33] NUT to work, no, but
[00:19:36] what if teacher chooses to obey? instead, what exactly is ASUS
[00:19:39] prepared to do to protect the that teacher from any disciplinary or
[00:19:43] industrial action that they might be sanctioned with? they have their
[00:19:47] members, we have our members, we are only concerned about our
[00:19:50] members, asus members are not allowed to join the strike,
[00:19:54] nut members can go ahead if they so wish, but we see no
[00:19:58] reason for the strike, and that is why we ask our members, not
[00:20:01] every teacher, whoever is member of NUT, good and fine, you
[00:20:05] go ahead, so candy are you saying asus
[00:20:09] does not see any point for FCT teachers being part
[00:20:13] of this industrial action by NUT
[00:20:16] at
[00:20:18] all right let's go to all the issues now while you guys oppose
[00:20:21] the the strike the NUT's demand focus on critical
[00:20:25] welfare, I mean I believe you're aware of that about concerns like the
[00:20:28] 25%, 35% and also 40% salary
[00:20:32] increment and this is specular allowances. now what
[00:20:36] is the union strategy for? securing these exact financial adjustments from the
[00:20:40] FCT administration without resorting to school courses?
[00:20:43] well, to be very specific, these were not the
[00:20:47] initial conditions for which the strike were the... and let me make
[00:20:51] it open to you right now, the strike were was
[00:20:54] declared based on vacancy uh,
[00:20:57] you know, precondition for promotion, um,
[00:21:01] secondly was the
[00:21:02] 2025
[00:21:05] disrupted staff education officers promotion
[00:21:09] examination, and thirdly is on redeployment,
[00:21:12] stroke demotion of senior or
[00:21:16] administrative officers, which we see no reason, let me... begin
[00:21:20] with the redeployment, it was not the motion, the
[00:21:24] FCT management have every prerogative to redeploy staff as at
[00:21:28] when due, all right, and that is soly an
[00:21:30] administrative uh issue, it doesn't
[00:21:34] actually call for strike, there was no demotion, every one
[00:21:38] the directors is still maintaining their status, not even their salaries have been
[00:21:42] reduced, so there was no point
[00:21:45] if the management deem it fit to redeploy, it's a pr':
[00:21:50] negative and then talking about the vacancy issue, you and
[00:21:54] i knows that as far as civil service is
[00:21:57] concerned, initially before the advent of
[00:22:01] um the civil service commission fct, we're under
[00:22:04] federal, and the position of vacancy has
[00:22:08] been part of it, is a rule, it's a gazzetted policy, it's an
[00:22:12] established policy that if you don't mention vacancy
[00:22:16] in public service rules then you mean i mean, there is nothing like
[00:22:20] public service rule, yes, but but the nuc, let me let me let me interject there, but the nuc
[00:22:24] and TU say, yes, the NUT and NLC did say that that
[00:22:28] vacancy requirement is unfairly stagnating
[00:22:32] teachers, that was the argument, and
[00:22:35] also asu says the requirement is back by the public service rules,
[00:22:39] which specific rule are you actually with relying on? okay,
[00:22:43] now if you want government to
[00:22:46] probably remove a particular policy, that has been
[00:22:50] gazetted, it's not by cohesion, it's not by giving government ultimatum,
[00:22:54] in the first place they are your employer, so you if you must
[00:22:58] dialogue with them, and the method with which NUT is demanding
[00:23:02] for this, shouldn't go by
[00:23:04] you know legitimate dialogue, it shouldn't be a thing where at every point in
[00:23:08] time they use the weapon of strike, it's an old method, it's an old
[00:23:12] fashion, now even if you go by ilo convention
[00:23:16] parameters, you don't see strike there, you understand
[00:23:19] what i saying, we have modern
[00:23:22] scientific method with which you can handle issues and they
[00:23:26] can be resolved with government, you don't coas government because they are your
[00:23:30] employee in the first place, and so what we are saying is that let there be
[00:23:34] legitimate dialogue, we are not against that, we are doing that, and now let me point
[00:23:38] out something for vacancies you know to lose their relevance as
[00:23:42] far as public service uh rules are concern or civil public civil
[00:23:46] service is concerned, teachers shouldn't be stagnated,
[00:23:51] by the positions of
[00:23:53] directorship, we you know
[00:23:57] advocates and agitated as well as
[00:24:01] appealing to government that they come up with
[00:24:04] nomenclatures for level 15, level
[00:24:08] 16 and level 17, let the directorate cader be
[00:24:11] silenced at those pools when everyone
[00:24:15] is promoted to the because level 17, level 16, level 15 are ranks, the
[00:24:19] civil ranks: yeah, but the argument, yes, but the argument is, you will
[00:24:23] agree with me that teachers are different from ordinary pool servants,
[00:24:27] good, because they employed specifically to teach, to teach, yes,
[00:24:31] and that is why we are saying, then let the directorship be
[00:24:34] silenced, when teachers when they create room for nomenclatures, just
[00:24:38] like level 14 is chief executing officer, if you give such nomenclatures
[00:24:42] for level 15, 16, 17, it gives opportunity for vacancy for
[00:24:46] everyone to be promoted there, whether they are 5,000 as the case may be,
[00:24:50] they got promoted to that level and then you can now with any criteria
[00:24:54] the government so them fit get them appointed if education needs
[00:24:58] 20 directors from there you can now get by the criteria you so
[00:25:01] choose appoint directors appoint deputy directors
[00:25:05] appoint uh assistant directors and then any point in time a
[00:25:08] director is retiring you don't need to wait for the next promotion where you look
[00:25:12] for acting directors no simply go back to that and so are you say is your
[00:25:16] association prepared to sit down with NUT and NLC today? for you
[00:25:20] guys to jointly examine the disputed issues rather than having
[00:25:24] competing directors to be very frank with youif if they invite us a
[00:25:28] round table we must have the consent from our mother body
[00:25:32] tuc if they so wish for us to come a round table why
[00:25:35] not but that must be done through our national body
[00:25:39] TUC because even what is going on here they never consulted never
[00:25:43] consult our national body our umbrella body our mother body
[00:25:46] tuc they never they were not consulted and that was why if if you follow up and
[00:25:50] you discover
[00:25:51] that there was a communike issued by TUC for every TUC
[00:25:54] affiliate body to go about their lawful
[00:25:57] duties. Your association has repeatedly said students should not
[00:26:01] suffer because of... industrial dispute, sure, but with this division going
[00:26:05] on right now, don't you think this will create some confusion and instability in schools
[00:26:09] and it should be called to order, issue down their swords and
[00:26:13] approach issues you know with
[00:26:16] legal grounds, what they are doing, we don't
[00:26:20] know their motive, but we are saying if
[00:26:24] they have realized that they took a wrong step by stopping,
[00:26:28] now government called you to come and write a promotion exam that you are due and you ask your
[00:26:32] member, has not to, it has affected even our members and we have not resolved that
[00:26:36] completely, because as we speak now, majority of education officers
[00:26:39] including assos and their own nut members have lost
[00:26:43] one year, now if we must like approval has given now,
[00:26:47] if we must go to write that examination, which i believe they are
[00:26:50] disguising to stop that particular examination for 2026, that is
[00:26:54] why they are calling for strike, not necessarily because they so
[00:26:58] wish you know to use the preconditions, but it's like they
[00:27:02] don't have proper legal advisor given your stance that strikes
[00:27:05] harm students, what is your message to FCT parents and students who
[00:27:09] find themselves caught in the middle of this competiting? thank you very
[00:27:13] much, i would want to call on every key education
[00:27:16] stakeholders as far as well as the general public, parent and
[00:27:20] student particularly, you see we were a you know uh
[00:27:24] monitoring though this morning some schools and some principals who
[00:27:28] knows their duties were in office, they were in office, but you see,
[00:27:32] most uh of us in this part the world take advantage of certain
[00:27:36] opportunities or circumstances like this, and so even when assu says we are
[00:27:40] not on strike, majority may take advantage not to go to work. i
[00:27:44] want to advise the general public, parent, keyholders,
[00:27:47] keys stakeholders and the major education
[00:27:51] key stakeholders to
[00:27:54] you know provide security to schools, let parents allow
[00:27:57] their children to come to school and let student come to school and
[00:28:01] stay, academic staff union uh
[00:28:05] of secondary school members or teachers are
[00:28:09] ready to come into the class and teach and let all schools be
[00:28:13] left open by principals right? principals also should not
[00:28:17] allow nyut to intimidate them because they go about
[00:28:20] pursuing the student a parent drop a child at school
[00:28:24] and goes to work and you now come to push this the child out
[00:28:28] the class what is the security guarantee of that child?
