The Chairperson of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Katsina State Chapter, Hajiya Rakiya Shehu Runka, has called on the government to reconsider the posting of teachers to communities battling insecurity.

She further stressed the importance of providing permanent housing for teachers, noting that decent accommodation would not only boost their morale but also enhance the overall quality of education across the state.

The NUT Chairperson made the appeal during a special prayer session for peace in Katsina, organized by the union’s state headquarters. The event, held on Monday, September 8, 2025, brought together leaders of the union from all 34 local government areas of the state.

The union reaffirmed its resolve to remain united in protecting the interests of teachers and ensuring improved standards of education across the state.
