Members of the Nigerian Union of Teachers in Borno State on Tuesday took to the government house and the streets to protest the rising abduction of learners in schools across the state.
The protest follows a directive from the national leadership of the NUT contained in a circular dated May 29, 2026, and signed by the union’s president, Audu Amba, and secretary, Clinton Ikpitibo.
The circular mandated all state chapters to stage solidarity rallies to draw attention to the worsening insecurity affecting schools.
The Secretary of Nigerian Union of Teachers, Borno State, Bako Monguno, and the National Publicity Secretary of the Union, Yusuf Tom, while leading the protest, called for immediate action to ensure the safety of schools across the state and the country.
Tom said the union has the opportunity to demand urgent government action over rising cases of abductions in schools.
