The states include Benue, Cross River, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Ekiti, Osun, Ogun, Oyo and Edo.

Already, teachers in the affected states have been directed by the NUT headquarters in Abuja to indicate their readiness to proceed on the strike by signing their names and signatures in special registers provided at their local government headquarters in the affected states.

NUT sources said the response had been overwhelming as almost all the teachers involved had indicated their readiness to embark on the strike.

The affected teachers were given up till today to indicate their interest in the strike.  http://www.informationng.com/2013/05/minimum-wage-nut-to-embark-on-strike-in-18-states.html
