Photos: Oyo teachers comply with NUT order over abduction of colleagues, students

Public primary and secondary schools across Oyo State were on Monday largely deserted as teachers complied with the directive of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) to embark on an indefinite strike over the continued captivity of abducted teachers and pupils in the state.

At Community High School, Ogungbade, Ibadan, classrooms were locked and academic activities halted as teachers stayed away from work in obedience to the union’s directive.

The strike also affected the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), with some supervisors seen waiting for the commencement of examinations amid uncertainty over the situation.
