The whole strike started when the government of Benue State refused to pay Primary School Teachers their salary from Aug till October 2013 (put in mind,that the primary school teachers are the only ones in the state that are not being paid with minimum wage).
When schools resumed in September 2013,the teachers complained to the State Union for teachers,and the Union decided to look into the matter,they tried appealing with the State govt but to no avail.It was at this point that the National Union decided to step in.
When the Union took over the case,they decided to go on strike and told the govt that they will only call-off the strike when the state govt start paying teachers their salary and this time it must be minimum wage.The state govt then released 2months (August & Sept) salary and paid the teachers on the 21st of October 2013.The govt still refused to pay the minimum wage,so the National Union order the teachers embarked on strike on the 24th of October,2014.
The primary school teachers stayed at home without being paid until the 24th of December,2013.when the state govt paid them their October salary.Ever since then the govt has not paid a dime to the primary school teachers till date.You can do the maths,in order words they have not been paid their salary from November 2013 till May 2014.The students are still at home on strike and it doesn't look like the govt is making any effort to help end the strike.
*THIS WAS SENT IN BY ONE OF THE AFFECTED.
One can age physically in trying to even find solutions to the different problems that spring up in Nigeria every minute.

Dats so true, i live in makurdi. And its very painful when u see little children sitting @ home and constituting nuisance. Bcos the children affected are from poor backgrounds. Our governor is a nonchalant man. Education shld βξ a right nd not a privilege. He should pay the teachers and let school resume properly. ~Anita~

ReplyDeleteDear teachers don't worry, ur reward is in heaven.
Sdk,suswan is d most heartless governor nig/benue has ever produce,if he can forged his ssce n wen d whistle blower told everybody d case was taken to court n till 2day,nothing.
ReplyDeleteThe teachers need to protest or put it in d news if not na gobe for them ooooo,cos that governor doesn't give a heck if they r paid or not.
To think that d idiot is aspiring to go to d senate in 2015. He feels jst cos he is GEJ's boy he can't suffer d innocent teachers. My aunt,a widow wt 4 kids has being suffering. God ll punish Suswan I swear. These days traditional rulers dnt even call pple to order cos they ve soiled their hands
DeleteNigerians are very wicked set of people both the ones in govt and Private companies. Pls help us beg jimoh Ibrahim to pay his staffs too they have not been paid since February i don't know how he expect a family man to survive without pay for months . jimoh Ibrahim is very very wicked
ReplyDeleteVERY TRUE STELLA, I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE AS HEARTLESS AS THE BENUE STATE GOVERNOR. HE'S NOT EVEN BOTHERED AT ALL. ALWAYS HANGING AROUND THE VILLA IN ABUJA AS IF HE'S THE PRESIDENTS' P.A. BENUE STATE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHEN THE WICKED RULES...AND PAINFULLY, SOME OF THESE TEACHERS ARE WIDOWS/BREADWINNERS WHO DO NOT HAVE ANY SUPPORT.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I should laugh or cry. Their are so many problems in this country, some of which are not far from greed. BH are killing innocent people cos a northerner is not d one ruling dis country, Akpabio is demanding for 100 million as pension, Benue teachers are not paid when benue govt are being given their allocation n d list goes on. Maka y biko nu ka obodo anyi ji juputa na ndi anya ukwu?
ReplyDeletePoor people.
ReplyDeleteI feel pity for them.
How do they even cope.
Teachers are so disregarded in this dead country called Naija
God see them thru
9ja, God com back 2 my dear country
ReplyDeleteYou can't treat teachers like this..they deserve the best...I wonder why this happens alot in Africa.
ReplyDeletePDP in action, sets of indifferent blood sucking and greedy fools.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile they spend the state reseources and allocation on irrelevant stuff
And the so called goverment will come tomorrow and say education is the key... Fuck them all...

ReplyDeleteThe nonsense jagbajantis gov slashed the salaries of civil servants by 20% claiming he needs it to pay teachers ,collected a loan of 11bn and is still talking about retrenchment haba Gabriel Torwua suswam fear God.
ReplyDeleteThey will rather loot all the money.
ReplyDeleteThe wickedness of man and they wonder why things go wrong in their lives. Children are suffering and he is spending their parents money without a heart. Benue State Governor change or get ready for woe, because when children start crying to God, their prayers get answered.
