Some parents in Kuje Area Council of FCT have called on the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Kuje Area Council to reach a workable resolution to enable primary school pupils to resume classes in the area.
The parents, who made the call in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria in Kuje, said the strike was having a negative impact on the pupils and appealed for speedy resolution.
Report have it that the primary school teachers in Kuje had on Monday embarked on an indefinite strike over failure by the area council to meet some demands of the union.
The union through its Chairman, Mr Audu Lucky, had listed the demands as the non-payment of salaries to 2018 recruited teachers whose salaries were abruptly stopped by the council chairman in September 2022.
However, Mrs Sarah Luka, a parent in Chukuku community, called on both the union and the council chairman to convene and proffer adequate solutions and help resolve the lingering teachers strike.
Meanwhile, the statement affirmed that the union had directed all primary school teachers in the area to stay away from their duty posts while parents are advised to keep their children and wards safe at home.
