Tension Emanate Between Ekiti Govt.,Teachers

In an apparent move to douse the tension emanating between the Ekiti State Government and teachers which form core of the local govt workforce, head teachers and the state governor are meeting for the second time within one month.
The Nigeria union of Local Govt Employee (NULGE) had earlier issued ultimatum to embark on indefinite strike over exclusion in the bailout fund arrangement. The 5th of October is world teacher’s day which is to be celebrated in Ekiti State. But the issuance of ultimatum by the Nigeria union of Local Govt Employee directing its members to embark on indefinite strike on that day must have prompts the governor to call head teachers to explain why the Bail Out Fund available is not covering them. The success or otherwise of this meeting will be seen with the turnout of teachers as the government decides to celebrate them in just few days away.
