The Federal Government on Thursday welcomed the suspension of the teachers’ strike in Oyo State, describing the decision as a victory for dialogue and a major step towards restoring uninterrupted learning in public schools.
The government said the resolution followed sustained engagements involving the Federal Ministry of Education, the Oyo State Government and the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers at the national, zonal and state levels, leading to the return of teachers to classrooms across the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education, Boriowo Folasade.
Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, said the outcome demonstrated the commitment of all parties to prioritising the welfare and future of schoolchildren above every other consideration.
