Following the inability of Taraba State government to provide necessary preventive equipment to schools to tackle the spread of Ebola in the state, the state chapter of Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) has directed its members not to resume schools on Monday September 22nd as directed by the federal government.
Briefing newsmen yesterday in Jalingo, the state chairman of NUT, Alhaji Aliyu Mafindi said that if not until the state government provides training for teachers on how to handle the deadly Ebola virus, teachers in primary and secondary schools in the state will not resume.
He added that the twenty million naira budgeted to purchase equipments to tackle the dreaded disease in the state was not utilized.
He stressed that the state government had earlier approved twenty million Naira to train teachers for the control of the disease before schools resume.
He noted that the life of the pupils in the state and the country, at large, are more valuable than any thing since they are the future leaders of tomorrow.
According to him, teachers in the state would not resume work until necessary steps are taken by the state government to curtail the spread of the disease.
