The Nigeria Union of Teachers, Federal Capital Territory Wing, on Monday, protested the inclusion of vacancy as a criterion for promotion of teachers.
The union officials and members stormed the Headquarters of the National Open University, Abuja, venue of the ongoing 2025 promotion examinations for 13,000 FCT Administration workers, to communicate their demands.
The protest disrupted the promotion examination for FCT teachers scheduled for Monday.
Chairman of the union, Mr Abdullahi Shafas who led the protest, appealed to the Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, Mr Emeka Ezeh to remove the vacancy condition for promotion.
Shafa argued that teachers were not pool staff and as such, deserve merit not vacancy as a condition for promotion.
