The Taraba State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has refuted reports claiming that it warned Governor Agbu Kefas over the non-payment of four months’ salary arrears.

The union clarified that it did not authorize anyone to threaten a withdrawal of support for the governor ahead of the 2027 elections in connection with the alleged arrears.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Nathan Solomon, and made available to journalists on Friday, the union emphasized that no individual or group had been mandated to speak on its behalf regarding the matter.

The union reiterated its commitment to the welfare of its members, noting that it engages relevant authorities strictly through established procedures.

Solomon also dismissed circulating social media claims suggesting that the union threatened the governor with the loss of political support from thousands of teachers ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“The claims did not emanate from the NUT and should be ignored by the public,” the statement read.
