NUJ RAISES ALARM OVER SLASH IN 2015 BUDGETARY ALLOCATION TO FED. MIN. OF EDU.

The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) has raised alarm over what they describe as the huge slash in the 2015 budgetary allocation to the Federal Ministry of Education.

The National President Comrade Michael Alogba made the disclosure while addressing the representatives of all the states branches of the NUT present at the National Solemn Assembly which held in Abuja today.

Comrade Alogba said the reduction in the budget allocation of the Ministry will make it more difficult to pay workers their salaries. While noting that only prayers can free the country from the challenges it is currently facing, he urged all the leaders from the various states to ensure they equally organise state prayers. 

Prayers were offered at the event for the safe return of the 219 abducted Chibok girls and also for the successful conduct of the February general elections.
