President Goodluck Jonathan has appealed to the NUT to shelve its plan
to embark on strike in protest against government’s directive that schools
should resume on September 22.
He made the appeal shortly after the National Executive Council of the
union rose from a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.
Jonathan told State House correspondents that instead of going on
strike, the NUT should commend the Federal Government for its efforts at
checking the spread of the disease.
“I will plead with NUT and other unions that this does not require
industrial action. They should commend government,” he said.
He said the non resumption of schools will give the international
community wrong signals that Nigeria is still being ravaged by the Ebola virus.
President Goodluck Jonathan also said this will have adverse effect on Nigerians
travelling abroad as they will be discriminated and subjected to various
inhuman treatment.

This is very correct. Most embassies have stopped giving Nigerians visas
ReplyDeleteA very wrong reason pls. Do we want ebola to escalate? I still saw a patient with fear of having come down with ebola last week becos he had contact with one of the late ebola victims. They really don't speak out bcos of fear of quarantine. If u are d one, will u speak out to be quarantine in an inhumane condition. Enough time is required to cub the disease pls.
