Reverse decision to hand over public schools to missionaries – NUT tells Okpebholo.

The Edo State chapter of the Nigerian Union of Teachers, NUT, on Sunday urged Governor Monday Okpebholo to rescind his decision to hand over public schools to Catholic missionaries.

The NUT said the development may bring about inequalities, inaccessible to marginalized group

The state chairman of the union, Bernard Gbenga Ajobiewe, made the demand in his speech at the celebration of the 2025 World Teachers’ Day in Benin City.

The 2025 World Teachers’ Day has the theme, ‘Recasting Teaching as a Collaborative Profession’.

Ajobiewe appealed to the government to take a second look into the issue.

He opined that the handing over of schools to missionary organisations may deprive marginalized groups the opportunity to benefit from religious affiliate institutions.

“As a union, we are committed to advocating for the right, welfare of our people at the same time development of education in our State.

“Sir, we strongly appeal to you to take a second look into the issue of handing over schools to Missionaries organisations in the State. As a union, we are not in support of this agenda,” he said.
