This is to officially convey to all Public Primary and Secondary School Teachers in Oyo State, the fresh directive of the National leadership of our union, NUT instructing us to withdraw our services from schools commencing from Tomorrow, Monday, 1st June, 2026 till further notice for maximum compliance.

Kindly note that the directive was given against the continued detention of our colleagues and learners by the abductors without any clear sign of their timeous rescue and safe release, a situation which had created fear and hopelessness in teachers, discouraged parents from sending their children to schools and caused panics and tensions across all communities in the state.

While this action was taken to further call on the government to intensify strategies towards bringing the abductees back safely and without any further delay, we wish to call on our teachers to remain law-abiding and stay safe in their respective homes.

The union and entire teachers in the country stand in solidarity with the victims and their families as more lawful engagements with the government for the safe return of the abductees continue.
