Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Oyo State suspends the strike it declared following the kidnapping of teachers and students in Oriire Local Government Area. Multiple outlets report that the union issues a directive to teachers in public primary and secondary schools across the state to resume official duties on Thursday, 2 July 2026. The decision follows calls for an end to the industrial action and assurances attributed to the state government aimed at strengthening security. The reports state that the strike suspension is linked directly to the abductions, with the union presenting its move as a response to government commitments to improve protection for schools and school communities. While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis—one highlighting the resumed work date and the other emphasizing the government assurances—the core points remain consistent: the strike ends, teachers are instructed to return to work, and the change is tied to developments around the abduction incident in Oriire.
