The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has announced a nationwide solidarity protest scheduled for Tuesday over the abduction of teachers and students from schools in Oyo State, intensifying pressure on the Federal Government to secure their release.
The union said the protest became necessary following the continued captivity of seven teachers and several pupils kidnapped during recent attacks on schools in the state.
Speaking with newsmen on Monday, NUT National President, Audu Titus Amba, expressed frustration over what he described as the government's inability to rescue the victims, warning that the security crisis threatening schools across the country had reached alarming levels.
The NUT president said the union had already directed teachers in Oyo State to withdraw their services and commence protests from Monday, adding that the action would be extended nationwide on Tuesday.
