NUT To FG: Don’t Remove Fuel Subsidy

The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) has declared that it was not in any way in support of the planned removal of petrol subsidy.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned NUP President,  Titus Amba, said this in Abuja on Monday during  the union’s 2023 Solemn Assembly.

He has also called for scrutiny of the implementation of the subsidy regime ‘with the aim of ending corruption in  the system’.

It will be recalled that the Federal Government had said it would stop the payment of petrol subsidy by the end of June having made provisions for N3.36trn  to cover the first six months of this year.

The NUT’s president  however said the consequences of high price of petroleum products had triggered inflation to the disadvantage of all wage earners in the country.

Amba also said the union would take on states that had refused to implement the N30, 000 minimum wages for teachers.

‘We’ve increasingly engaged our state government on the issues of N30,000 minimum wage and the consequential adjustments, and have filed trade disputes with the registrar of trade unions against some non-cooperative states governments’ he said.

The NUT President added that Kaduna State only implemented the N30,000 minimum wage for secondary school teachers leaving out the primary school teachers-Team@orientactualmags.com
