The Senior Staff Union of Colleges of Education in Nigeria (SSUCOEN) has embarked on an indefinite nationwide strike. Which is as a result of the a breakdown in solve the between the Federal Government and Colleges of Education.
According to a press statement made
available in Kano on Sunday by Comrade
Abu Enesi Ajoge shortly after an
Emergency National Delegates
Conference, the union stated that the
show down was adopted to press home
its demands which it said the
government had not expressed
commitments.
The strike, according to Ajoge, the first
to be embarked upon by the Union will
be “indefinite and total, until the Federal
Government meets its demands of
approving the migration of officers on
CONTEDISS 11 and below and other
sundry issues.”
Ajoge, who also doubles as Chairman,
FCE Okene branch said that the action
would paralyse activities of Colleges of
Education system whose Academic staff
had been on strike for the last 10 weeks.
According to Comrade Ajoge, the Federal
Government has been unfairly treating
teacher education in Nigeria, which he
noted has become a source of concern
as it will further frustrate the already
weakened teacher education in Nigeria.
He therefore called on members to
remain resolute in the face of
hopelessness, stressing that “this is the
time to recover the soul of the system to
make it worthwhile”.
