According to report by Vanguard News on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has called off the strike embarked upon by public school teachers in Oyo State and directed its members to return to work on Thursday after reaching an understanding with the state government over school security.

The industrial action was declared following the abduction of teachers and pupils in Oriire Local Government Area, an incident that raised serious concerns about the safety of teachers, learners and other education workers across the state.

In a statement jointly signed by the Oyo State Chairman of the union, Hassan Ajibola Fatai, and the State Secretary, Olukayode Salami, the NUT said the decision to suspend the strike was taken in line with a directive from the union’s national leadership.
