The union directed all teachers in the state to remain at home until the state government reverses its decision after the sacked primary school teachers scored below 75 per cent in a competency test conducted for them in June 2017.

The leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers in Kaduna State on Wednesday tackled the state Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, over the sacking of over 21,000 teachers in the state.

While the teachers accused the governor of a desperate move to frustrate the court injunction restraining him from sacking the teachers, El-Rufai argued that the state had sacked the teachers before the National Industrial Court judgment.

The union and the state government had drawn a battle line over the sacking of the over 21,000 teachers that failed a Primary Four competency test conducted by the government.

The government later advertised for vacant positions of the sacked teachers. To prevent this, the NUT hurriedly dragged the state to the National Industrial Court for arbitration.
