An investigation carried out indicated that no children of the NUT leaders in Kaduna State was attending public primary schools The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Kaduna State on Wednesday, December 26, tackled Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, the Governor of Kaduna State, over the sacking of over twenty-one thousand (21,000) teachers who failed a Primary Four competency test conducted by the Kaduna State government.The government subsequently advertised for vacant positions of the sacked teachers, and in a bid to prevent this, the NUT sought for the intervention of the National Industrial Court (NIC). Judgement was given in favor of the teachers.According to THE PUNCH however, in a radio interview on the state-owned Kaduna Media Corporation, El-rufai said the teachers had been sacked before the judgment of the NIC.The Governor further went ahead to lash out at the leadership of the NUT for patronizing private primary schools, allowing public primary schools in Kaduna State to rot away.
