The Teachers and Education Workers Union (TEWU) has rejected calls by the National Labour Commission (NLC) to suspend its ongoing strike.
On Friday, September 19, 2025, TEWU declared an indefinite nationwide strike in protest against what it describes as the government’s undue delay in signing its conditions of service.
The union has also accused the government of neglecting the welfare of non-teaching staff in the education sector.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, September 23, Salamatu Mahamah Braimah, the National Chairperson of TEWU, insisted that members will not return to work until their demands are met.
“Until we conclude and sign the conditions of service, we will not come to class. The NLC themselves know that we went by the rules, and this is never illegal. We have given them the chronology of events. So why is NLC writing to us?” she said.
