By Okhide Em’ya David 

Edo State chapter of the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), has advised all state wing Executive Council members,  school heads, and primary school teachers in the State not to fill any document related to contributory Pension scheme no matter the source of such document until the Union directs otherwise.

A statement by the assistant secretary general,  of the Union, Comrade  Imoni  Mike Modesty said the decision was part of a resolution at  the state wing Executive Council  meeting held on the 29th of December, 2020; especially on the issue of Contributory Pension Scheme for primary school teachers in Edo State.

“I have been directed to inform all SWEC Members ,School Heads and Primary School Teachers in the State not to fill any Document having anything to do with contributory pension Scheme no matter the source of such Document, until the Union says otherwise,”  he said.

The Statement added: “The new  directive became inevitable  because the two  fundamental issues raised by the Union as per the contributory pension  scheme   have not received Government positive response.”

The Union “all concerned to be strictly guided.”
