Africa-Press – Nigeria. The Taraba state chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, has distanced itself from reports alleging that it issued a warning to the state governor Agbu Kefas over the non payment of four months’ salary arrears.
The union further cleared that it did not mandate anyone to threaten withdrawal of support for the governor ahead of 2027 over the said arrears.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Nathan Solomon, and made available to journalists in the state on Friday, the union said it did not authorize any individual or group to issue such warnings or speak on its behalf on the matter.
The union stressed that it remains committed to the welfare of its members and engages relevant authorities strictly through due process.
Solomon also dismissed claims circulating on social media that the union threatened that Governor Agbu Kefas could lose his position or the political support of thousands of teachers ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The claims did not emanate from the NUT and should be ignored by the public,” the statement read.
