It wants the payment made to its members in the Federal Ministry of Education headquarters, the inspectorate offices and the 104 Federal Unity Colleges in the country.
The union’s Secretary General, Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal, in a press statement, weekend, enjoined its members to remain firm and obey the strike order until directed otherwise by the union.
The statement pointed out that the tripartite taskforce set up by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity in respect of the strike has recorded some positive results.
“We can confirm that the sum of N527, 643,440 has been released by the Budget Office to the CBN for onward transmission to the Federal Ministry of Education to start the payment of the first batch of promotion arrears.
“We are hopeful that the money will start dropping into the personal accounts of members of the union at the headquarters of the ministry, the inspectorate offices, and the 104 federal unity colleges beginning from Friday,” the union said.
