The Nigeria Union of Teachers has commenced a nationwide rally amid growing concerns over insecurity in schools, with protests reported in Oyo State and Ogun State following recent cases of school-related abductions.
The demonstrations, organised by members of the union and supported by concerned stakeholders, focused on the need for improved security around schools and stronger protection for students, teachers, and education workers across the country.
Participants reportedly expressed concern over the increasing threats facing educational institutions, stressing that learning environments must remain safe and secure for both students and staff.
The nationwide rally forms part of broader efforts by the union to draw attention to security challenges affecting the education sector and to advocate for urgent intervention from relevant authorities.

Education stakeholders have continued to warn that repeated incidents of school attacks and abductions could negatively affect school attendance, learning outcomes, and public confidence in the education system.
The union is expected to engage government authorities and security agencies on measures aimed at strengthening school safety, preventing future incidents, and ensuring the protection of children and education personnel nationwide.
