The National President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, Comrade Micheal Olukoya Alogba, has directed its members not to resume on the 22nd of September, 2014, as directed by the Federal Government.He said the teachers should only resume if the Federal Government sufficiently trained and provide them with necessary preventive and protective gadgets on Ebola virus.It would be recalled that the federal government changed the resumption date from September 8, 2014 to October 13, 2014, over the outbreak of Ebola virus in the country. The date was reviewed fom October 13, to September 22, 2014, based on the advice given by Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, who said based on the progress made so far that over 98% success has been recorded across the nation.The union also threatened to shut down the education sector if the federal government scrap Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN because it is the only regulatory body for the practice of teaching in Nigeria from primary school to the tertiary institution.
