Teachers in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have resumed work after a 3-month strike.
The teachers returned to school when the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) issued a communiqué, asking them to resume, following an intervention by Mr. Nyesom Wike, the FCT Minister. Following the resumption, some pupils expressed their displeasure about the wasted time. In an interview, Joshua Peter, a Primary Four pupil, said that though excited to resume, many pupils worry about catching up. “We have lost the second term already, while our counterparts in private schools are already writing their examinations and preparing for the holidays,” he said.
