The Revolutionary Socialist Movement , a civic group, has declared its support for the ongoing strike by primary school teachers in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.In a statement on Thursday by Salako Kayode, its spokesperson, the group enjoined other stakeholders to also support the teachers to rescue the collapse of public education in the country.
“This money is actually looted public money that should be spent to meet the demands of the striking primary school teachers and to invest in public education, to allow for the children of workers and poor families to have proper education. "It is necessary to produce leaflets and press statements appealing to the Nigerian people to support the teachers’ struggle, so as to put pressure on the Area Council leadership that are more concerned about spending on campaigns in coming elections than to meet the demands of teachers.
