A’Ibom teachers protest non-posting two years after employment

Udom Emmanuel

At least 50 teachers employed by the immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, who were yet to be posted to schools by the current administration in the state, yesterday embarked on protest at the premises of the state House of Assembly.
Expressing their grievances to newsmen, one of the teachers, who was a nursing mother, Mrs. Rose Akpan, said they were tired of staying at home after the state government had issued them appointment letters to start work but were yet to be posted.
They demanded immediate posting to ameliorate their sufferings.
The Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Hon. Felicia Bassey, who received the aggrieved teachers, thanked them for a peaceful protest and promised to take the matter to the appropriate quarters.
Meanwhile, Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Onofiok Luke, said following the intervention of the House in the alleged wrongful sack/demotion of workers at the Akwa Ibom State University, the institution had made good concession that had saved the jobs of several workers of the university.
