The Nigeria Labour Congress ( NLC ), Borno State Chapter has denied sacking of 6000 teachers by the state government.
Speaking to Journalists yesterday in Maiduguri, the State NLC Chairman, Comrade Bulama Abiso, said contrary to the insinuation of the sack, the state government only set up a committee for the verification of teachers at the local government level.
He said as far as the NLC in the state is concerned, no teacher has been sacked since none of them has been issued a letter with a reason for sack. It can be recalled that Governor Babagana Umara Zulum had recently set up the Teachers’ Verification Committee to verify the status of teachers in the payroll of the 27 local government Areas and the committee verified and presented their report, where over 6000 teachers were declared ghost teachers.
But further speaking, the NLC Chairman said the affected teachers with irregularities were not sacked, adding that it was the committee’s report that was implemented and salaries of some teachers that were having a problem that were stopped.
