The indefinite strike embarked upon by the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Oyo State has continued to generate concern among parents and education stakeholders over its impact on pupils and students.
Some parents and teachers who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan on Wednesday said the prolonged closure of public schools had left many children idle, exposed to negative influences and disrupted their academic activities.
NAN recalls that the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) directed all public primary and secondary school teachers in Oyo State to embark on an indefinite strike beginning from June 1.
This was in reaction to the abduction of teachers and pupils in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State on May 15.
