₦airaland Forum

Workers at the Paul University, Awka, Anambra State, have protested the non-payment of their two-year salaries.

The protesters, who carried placards with various inscriptions such as, ‘Working without payment is unscriptural’, ‘starvation is the worst form of attack, pay your staff or shutdown’, ‘Primate have mercy on us’, said the debts ranged between 14 to 28 months.

Their protest came just as the Primate, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba, inaugurated the Law faculty building of the institution on Saturday.

Speaking on behalf of the protesters, the acting Head, Information and Communication Technology, Chidi Gabriel, said while the Adjunct staff were being owed 28 months, those on contracts and regular engagements were owed 24 and 14 months respectively.

He lamented that it was unfortunate that an institution jointly owned by 55 dioceses would find it difficult to pay its workers.

He, however, absolved the Archbishop of Niger Province, Rt Rev. Alexander Ibezim, who he said had cushioned their suffering through provisions of periodic bailout funds.

He said, “We have been working these months without salary and they have been making promises without any fulfilment. Imagine what our families are passing through without salary?

"There is a saying that a goat owned by the public dies faster. That is our experience in this school. Why not shut down the school if they cannot afford to pay?”

In his reaction, the Primate assured them that he had waded into the matter, adding that their grievances were receiving attention.

He said, “Your issues are receiving attention. I have stepped into the matter. The labourer deserves his wages. I stand with you and feel your pains. I and other Bishops, Senate and management will put heads together to ensure your matter receives attention.

“I have directed that some money be released to attend to the issue. In due time you will hear from us.”

The law building, named after the Archbishop of Niger Province was inaugurated by the Primate and Archbishop of Enugu Diocese, Rt. Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma and other bishops from various dioceses across the country.

The Primate had also dedicated Renaissance Modern Polytechnic Mbaukwu and Millennium college of Nursing Sciences, Awka.

I know some sadists will be racking their brains trying every trick to blame the most innocent, honest man in Nigeria, Peter Obi

Villa12:
I'm actually not a Yoruba but I've lived in Yoruba land, Lagos precisely for long

Any Yoruba, Hausa or fulani man and woman campaigning for Obi should have a rethink and retrace their step back. Though this isn't supposed to be so but you see those IGBOS have turned this election to tribalistic one. They have even turn it to religious one

I will support and vote for Tinubu. He has more achievements, antecedents and legacies to point at as a governor and when he left government than EVERY other contestants

Tinubu is very much accommodating and tolerance than other contestants. IGBOS are taking political position in Lagos. IGBOS are civil servants in Lagos and other South western states. IGBOS are doing businesses freely in Lagos and other south western region

Please go to any eastern state to see if you'd see any Yoruba or Hausa man as ordinary councillor. It is a TABOO to the Igbo

To them their igbo president in form of Obi is the best after bread and butter while others are nothing to write home about. Support Tinubu or Atiku and watch them curse, bash or threaten you. They accused you of being paid for supporting Tinubu or Atiku while them are doing it freely. They always insult the Fulani and Hausas and call them all sorts of names. They even call them cow, almajiri etc. They insult the Yorubas calling them fulani slaves. They condemned Nigeria as a country. Claiming Nigeria is a ZOO

ACHIEVEMENT- I WILL VOTE TINUBU
TOLERANCE & ACCOMMODATING- I WILL VOTE TINUBU

For the northerners who reside in the north you can ask any of your family or friends living in Lagos and other South western states they will tell you how Yoruba are so friendly, loving and accommodating. Go to the state headquarter at Alausa ikeja you'll see igbos holding top position without any discrimination

Go to east and see how all positions are occupied completely by all igbos.

An average IGBOS are resentful, spiteful, hateful, bittered et al. They literally see themselves better, superior and more sophisticated than other tribes.

PLEASE verify this my claim if you aren't aware of it and make a decision on who to campaign and vote for

I leave you to your conscience

Hate kills, try and salvage your life now.
