Worried by non-payment of their arrears, members of the Nigerian Union of Teachers in the Federal Capital Territory have threatened to embark on an indefinite strike after their ongoing five-day warning strike if their demands are not met.
Recall that the teachers had last Thursday commenced a five-day warning strike to demand enhanced security in schools and payment of arrears of promotion benefits.
Recall also that the FCT Minister, Mohammed Bello, on the same day, met with the FCT Chairman of the NUT, Stephen Knabayi and promised to pay the promotion benefit arrears of the teachers before the end of the year.
However, speaking with newsmen on Monday, Knabayi insisted that the union would not call off the strike, adding that it would immediately after the strike commence an indefinite strike.
