A group of teachers protesting the non-payment of their over salaries over the last five years have criticised Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike for donating N500m to Sokoto State Government over a burnt market rather than see to the welfare of its people.
The protesting teachers, numbering over 250, with placards and banners, alleged that they have lost about ten of their colleagues due to the hardship experienced within the period.
The protesting teachers, who came out with their children, as well as sympathizers from the civil society organizations in the state, said they were from Primary and Secondary Schools and the Rivers State University, the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, and the Ken Saro–Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori.
