NLC orders Rivers NUT to halt deductions from teachers' salaries

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) directed the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) to suspend deductions from teachers' salaries for the End-Well Cooperative Scheme, following opposition from some teachers. This directive came as teachers planned to protest in Port Harcourt on August 28, 2026, over deductions made from their June and August salaries. The NLC expressed concerns about the political implications of the protest due to the ongoing Nigeria Bar Association conference in the city.
