Primary and secondary school teachers in Cross River State on Monday resumed their strike just as schools reopened for the new term.

The Cross River chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers held an Emergency State Wing Executive Council (SWEC) meeting on September 5 and issued a communiqué at the end of the meeting which stated that they resolved to resume the strike following the state’s government refusal to implement the Teachers’ Specific Allowance (TSA).

The TSA translates to 27.5 per cent increase in the teachers’ salary.

The communiqué was made available to The Nation newspaper and was signed by the chairman of the union, Comrade Eyo-Nsa Eyo Itam, its Secretary, Comrade Livinus Eta Omini and its Publicity Secretary, Comrade Dennis Monche.
