Lecturers Storm INEC Over Unpaid Allowances by Nobody: 2:11am On Apr 10, 2015 |
Academic staff in the University of Calabar (UNICAL) that served as returning officers in the May 28 Presidential and National Assembly elections Thursday, stormed the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Calabar to protest the non-payment of their allowances. They threatened to boycott Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly elections. One of the protesting lecturers told journalists that they embarked on the action to protest the ill-treatment meted out on them by the commission. He disclosed that what they have been receiving in previous elections was higher than what the commission offered them in this year’s elections, though he declined to disclose the figure. According to him, ‘they (INEC) slashed our honorarium without explanations, and could not even pay what they claim they were going to pay us.’ Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Dr. Sylvester Ezeani condemned the protests by the lecturers describing their action as ‘unfortunate.’ He said such action was expected of students and not academic staff, adding that efforts will be made to pay them. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/lecturers-storm-inec-over-unpaid-allowances/ |

Imagine the last paragraph,someone saying lecturers aren't suppose to protest.. The lecturers know that if they didn't speak out,the money will be gone to the winds after tomorrow's election.. They should protest,after all,they worked for it. |

emusmith:do Government keeps its promise? Hell No. The FG/ASUU is still lingering in their memory. Anything short of holding FG to ransom,will be gone with the winds. |

If lecturers could be this impatient? How much more other Adhoc staff. Just hope they don't bring ASUU into this and the next thing is STRIKE! Greedy impatient People. |
