A strike has been declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress over unresolved disputes involving teacher promotions and career progression. The strike is indefinite and takes effect from October 7, 2026, after a seven-day ultimatum expired. The disputes centre on the implementation of a "vacancy clause" that conditions teacher promotions on available vacancies.
The union had issued the ultimatum demanding resolution of long-standing welfare disputes affecting teachers. However, the response to the ultimatum was rejected, described as "ambiguous, dismissive and totally unacceptable".
Further details on the dispute and the strike are available from the source, including a communique signed by the NLC Council Chairman.
