The directive was issued by the State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, in a communiqué issued at the end of its Executive Meeting in Port Harcourt.
State Chairman of the NUT, LUCKY NKPOGONE who read the communiqué to newsmen, said the NUT cannot understand why the state government was reluctant to pay teachers after taking part in the biometric exercise.
LUCKY NKPOGONE said it was not true that teachers who completed the biometric exercise have all been paid, stressing that about eighty persons of teachers in Rivers State are being owed by the government.
Our correspondent LEVI ISU reports that the NUT pleaded with the Rivers State Government to clear all outstanding salaries of its member before 11th of September to avert an industrial crisis in the education sector.
