Boko Haram killed 173 teachers in Borno – Yobe NUT

The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Bauchi State chapter has daisclosed  that 173 teachers have been killed by Boko Haram  insurgents in  Borno and Yobe states. State Chairman of the union, Danjuma Sale, disclosed this while speaking during a one-day protest  for the release of the over 200 girls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents last month in Chibok , Borno State.
Addressing the crowd of teachers, who marched  on Bauchi streets to the Government House,  Sale said: “We demand that both the Federal and the respective state governments exhibit true concern for the families of the 173 teachers, 170 in Borno State and three in Yobe State, who lost their lives to the barbaric, uncivilised and wicked act of terror  by paying them adequate compensation to assist in soothing their misery.”
Sale advised the Federal Government to do all it could to bring back the abducted girls safe and alive, by demonstrating enough social responsibility and concern to guarantee security of lives and property in the land, which is the primary responsibility of any responsible government.
He appealed to the Federal Government to provide conducive and peaceful atmosphere for learning to both teachers and students  in what they called, the vulnerable political environment in the country.
Receiving the teachers on behalf of Governor Isa Yuguda , the Secretary to the Bauchi State Government,  Alhaji Aminu Hammayo, flanked by the Chief of Staff, Bauchi Government House, Alhaji Abdulkadir Ibrahim, commended the protestants for being peaceful and pledged to deliver their message to the governor, who would take the letter to President Goodluck Jonathan.
