BENIN — PRIMARY school teachers in Edo State have served the state government a notice of resumption of their suspended strike on February 17 if the government fails to pay the arrears of the 10.5 percent TSA balance to all primary school teachers from July to November 2013, later than February 14, 2014.

The decision to resume the suspended strike was contained in a communiqué after an enlarged State Executive Council meeting in Benin, yesterday.

The communiqué by Mr. Mike Uhunmwangho, the state chairman and Mr. Akin Adeojo, reminded the state government that teachers suspended their last strike in the state to allow for an amicable resolution of their unpaid salary arrears that accumulated between July and November last year.

The union said: “Edo State Government should urgently meet our demand or the union would resume her earlier suspended indefinite strike of July 10, 2013 come February 17, 2014.”
