Primary school teachers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have suspended the strike they embarked upon on November 18, 2021.
They had suspended teaching over the failure of the area councils in the FCT to implement their promotional allowances.
But on Wednesday, Comrade Ameh Baba, Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Kubwa chapter, told Daily Trust that pupils were expected to resume classes immediately.
The union had initially started with a five-day warning strike, which elapsed on November 24, when its secondary schools’ wing suspended its own.
Baba said the decision to halt the strike was achieved following an intervention made by the FCT Senator, Philip Aduda, and Muhammad Musa Bello, Minister of FCT.
He said they promised to resolve the issue in a different way.
He said the development was unfortunate but the teachers were “left with no other option”.
