About two hundred and fifty four workers, whose
salaries have been stopped since February 2016, have dragged the Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike, to the National Industrial Court of Nigeria sitting in
Bayelsa State.
The workers, who are teachers of primary and
demonstration schools of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology,
Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, and Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori,
have prayed the court to compel the government to pay their salaries.
Governor Wike had reportedly announced in February
2016 that the state government would no longer pay the salaries of primary and
secondary schools’ teachers of demonstration schools of RSUST and other
designated institutions where pupils and students pay school fees.
