Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala yesterday ordered striking secondary school teachers in Oyo state to report to work next Monday or to forfeit their monthly salaries from the state government. He announced the ultimatum while speaking at a meeting with the principals of secondary schools across the 33 Local Government areas of the Oyo state. The governor also stressed that there was no basis for the teachers' strike, since the last time there was a strike in the Oyo state, teachers' salaries were raised.
This article illustrates social and economic tensions which are threatening the Oyo state of Nigeria. Some of the teachers believe that they should be paid more, so they go on strike, which in turn creates a social disaster, impairing students from learning in regular conditions.
