 Now, some former employees of the Ignatius Algerian University of Education stormed the government hours gate in Portaqot asking the river state government to pay them their nine month salaries and reinstate them. They were sucked after the government detected discrepancies in their recruitment process. During the process, the former employees expressed grief and anger at the manner the employment was terminated without getting paid throughout the nine months they were engaged. The former spokesperson of the protesters, Poni Barindoma, said that, apart from asking for their own paid salaries, they are also demanding that the government reinstate them. We have come, we came and we paid our nine months. In this period of nine months, several things happened. People in the private sector have to resign because they've got government jobs, jobs that are sustainable. Where they can put in their best to improve the state. I know somebody that is a friend of mine, that's a lecturer at Lagos University. His family is in Portaqot, but because of the nature of his job, he was at Lagos. The man resigned from his job that is teaching in Lagos and came to Ignatius Algerian just for him to come and the government is canceling his job. Even that man in this array, it doesn't make sense. We have worked for these nine months. We want our job better. Because it is highly not for the government of this state to treat us this way. We are citizens of this state. We work for this government. He supported this government. He made a promise when there was chaos in this state. He said he is for the youth. He is for the people of this state. Our response to the protesters, the head of civil service, George Wacky, said they can't sit employment process at the Ignatius Algerian University of Education in the community due to intolerable irregularities. We will be revisited and the process restarted. This is as I showed that a new government council was now in place to oversee the process and ensure elimination of the irregularities that amped the previous process. He said the management of the institution was directed based on the request to employ only 867 staff with 420 such persons been academic staff, but regretted that the institution employed 1,900 persons with only 123 been academic staff, which was grossly unacceptable. There is a particular level that every person was supposed to be in place and that was a proof that the presidency gave. Now, at the end of the day, they employed 1,800 and something people, almost three times the number that was given to them to employ. And they brought all of you for biometrics. Now when they brought the number of people now that were to be payrolled, they brought less than that. And we give you people the figures and show you the names that were brought for us to payroll. And when we are now looking at it, we saw that they reduced every person to as if they were casual workers. Wait, the governor said no. Meanwhile, when we also looked at it, the non-academic staff, we are now three times the academic staff. The academic staff that were now brought for us to pay were less than 100 people. Please, is that a very fair representation? No. The other service also protested to organise themselves properly so that it will be easy to interface with them when the employment process recommends us because only qualified persons will now be employed within the stipulated number.
