The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has announced an indefinite strike for all public primary and secondary school teachers in Oyo State, effective Monday, June 1, 2026. This decision follows ongoing concerns regarding the abduction of teachers and pupils in the region, prompting the union to demand urgent government intervention for their safe release. In a statement from NUT Oyo State Wing leadership, it was highlighted that the prolonged captivity has instilled fear among educators and parents, leading to decreased school attendance and increased tension in affected communities. The union has called on teachers to adhere to the strike directive while emphasizing their safety and the importance of advocating for the welfare and security of all educational stakeholders.
