The Teachers and Education Workers Union (TEWU) has dismissed the requests made by the National Labour Commission (NLC) to halt its current strike.
TEWU initiated an indefinite nationwide strike on Friday, September 19, 2025, as a protest against what it characterizes as the government’s excessive delay in finalizing its conditions of service.
The union has further accused the government of disregarding the welfare of non-teaching personnel within the education sector.
In a statement to the press on Tuesday, September 23, the National Chairperson of TEWU, Salamatu Mahamah Braimah, emphasized that members will not resume work until their demands are fulfilled.
“We will not return to the classroom until we finalize and sign the conditions of service. The NLC is aware that we have adhered to the regulations, and our actions are entirely lawful. We have provided them with a timeline of events. So why is the NLC reaching out to us?” she stated.
