World Teachers’ Day: Education in crisis in Nigeria — NUT President

The Minister said since he assumed office, NUT has not embarked on strike, commending the union for patriotism, even as he reeled out the government’s packages for teachers.

The newly elected President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Audu Amba, has said the challenges of shortage of teachers, poor infrastructure, inadequate funding and refusal of some states to implement the N30,000 minimum, among many others, have thrown Nigeria’s education system into “crisis.”

Mr Amba said this on Wednesday while delivering his speech at the Eagle Square in Abuja during an event to mark this year’s World Teachers’ Day.

He said: “It is regrettable that this deplorable state of education and poor working conditions of teachers adversely affect education service delivery, especially in the public sector.”

Mr Amba, therefore, called on both the federal and state governments to increase budgetary allocation for the sector.
