NUT says the union is opposed to handover of payment of primary schools teachers’ salaries to the local government councils.

     Nigerian Union of Teachers, NUT,  says the union is opposed to handover of payment of primary schools teachers’ salaries to the local government councils.


    Ebonyi NUT Chairman, Simon Ozo disclosed this in an interview with newsmen today in Abakaliki .


   According to him, the union’s opposition to the planned handover of payment of teachers’ salaries to local government administration is hinged on the Supreme Court decision, which granted payment of salary of primary school teachers to states.

   President, Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, Ebonyi Chapter, Leo Nkah, who spoke on the issue, supported the NUT’s position saying that the teachers only want to secure their future, stressing that they were not against local government autonomy.
