The Kebbi State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) dismisses a viral social media video that alleges poor education funding and inadequate conditions for teachers. The union says the video is old and has been edited and doctored in a way that creates a misleading impression about the state of education and teachers’ welfare.
NUT’s statement, issued by the union leadership in Kebbi, argues that the circulating clip does not reflect current realities. The reports from multiple outlets describe the same core response: the NUT chapter denies that the claims in the video accurately represent education funding levels or teacher remuneration in the state. Some coverage also frames the broader dispute as part of defending the union’s stance on education policy and salaries, including references to reforms linked to the teachers’ pay.
While the viral video claims funding shortfalls and poor teacher welfare, the NUT position presented by the outlets is that the material has been manipulated and should not be relied on as evidence.
