Teachers in public primary and junior secondary schools in Kogi State have refused to resume for the 2014/1015 academic session on September 29 as directed by the state government.
The teachers, under the aegis of Basic Education Staff Association of Nigeria (BESAN), said in a statement in Lokoja on Sunday that they would not resume duty until they are paid the N18, 000 national minimum wage.
The statement by the state Chairman of the association, Suleiman Adomu, said the issue of promotions and incremental steps without cash backing should be addressed by the state government without further delay.
Another demand made by the association was a stop to irregular payment of salaries to its members and full payment of the arrears of leave allowance being owed teachers from 2011 to date. They claimed that their grievances preceded the issue of Ebola virus.
