Akwa Ibom state teachers on Saturday, August 13, resulted to fasting and praying over their unpaid salaries.

The teachers were pictured with their appointment letters as they knelt to pray for God’s intervention in getting their 16 months unpaid salary.

The teachers who got their appointment letter from State Secondary education board (SUBEB) are yet to be paid their salaries since April 2015.

They gathered at Ibom Plaza, Uyo in Akwa Ibom to seek the face of God, so as to change their situation.

In a similar case, the industrial action embarked on by workers in Ekiti state took a spiritual dimension on Monday, June 13, after workers in the state declared a three-day fasting and prayer in a bid to hasten the payment of their five months salaries owed by the Governor Ayodele Fayose-led administration.

The call for the three days fast was made in a release signed by the secretaries of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Olayemi; Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) Mr. J.A. Adebayo and Joint Negotiating Council, Mr. Oladele Ayodeji.
