Activities at the Edo State Government House
were put on hold on Wednesday by protesting
workers of the state owned tertiary
institutions over unpaid salaries and alleged
poor condition of service .
The protesters under the aiges of Coalition of
Unions of Edo State Owned Tertiary
Institutions , were drawn from College of
Education, Ekiadolor ; College of Education
Igueben; Institute of Science and Technology ,
Usen and College of Agriculture , Iguoriakhi .
The protesters who adorned themselves in black
attire in their hundreds, also demanded for
immediate payment of 16 months salary
arrears said to have been approved between
July 2009 and October 2010
Among other things, the aggrieved workers
also decried unpaid promotion arrears ,
stoppage of Trust fund/ Cooperative monies
for the running of the institutions , dilapidated
infrastructures and non provision of fund for
immediate accreditation of courses
President of the Coalition of Unions of
Institutions , Fred Omonuwa , disclosed that
they have engaged the state government
through the Commissioner for Education over
the issues , adding that , the workers can
longer continue to bear the pains .
He also frowned at the decision of the state
government to resort to selective preference
by choosing to pay their counterparts in sister
institution, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma ,
regular monthly pension and gratuities and
increased in subvention to AAU while they are
left unattended to .
The State Head of Service, Mr Igbaeremen
Obazele, who received the protesters on behalf
of governor Adams Oshiomhole , said
government had since constituted a team
headed by Rev Peter Obadan, a former Deputy
Governor, to look at the issues raised . He
attributed the delay to failure by the
management of three out of the four
institutions to make available the needed
statistics.
“ You don ’ t hold meeting without computation.
You cannot negotiate without adequate
records . The summary of this issue is money .
The summary of your demand is increase in
subvention and the government cannot make
increase subvention without knowing what is
on the ground , ” Obazele told the protesters .

All they care about is salaries rather than shaping the country's future.
Why not take your protest to Jonathan,madueke and Iweala in Abuja,where they have completely messed up the country's finances.

All of you replying my comments are all slow pokes like your TANidiot masters.
Are the states getting their allocation on time ?
Are they getting the right amount based on crude sales?
Is the federal government not making illegal deductions ,which are not being reflected in any other account.
Are the country finances not messed up because of the fall in crude prices, the corruption and the mismanagement of NNPC?
Is the CBN not wasting what is left of OBJ foriegn reserve to defend the worthless naira?
Is the government is gradually running out of money especially if oil prices continue falling?
Call me when you get the answers .
IN Fact , call me when the naira start exchanging for N300

a yoruba adage says:

The kid in house died, u say make dem no feed the elders. Shey na the elders kill the kid ni?

The point is, because dem mess up finances for abuja, make workers no eat for edo abi? Na dem spoil finance ni?

If he can't pay up, he shld cut down his cost of governance, resign or cut down the size of working staff...

As finance no good from Abuja, he no dey eat abi he no dey collect his own salaries or daily allowances?

Obiagelli:
Gej should pay states their allocation, this is no excuse for Oshiomole though. Disappointed.

the main reason I opened this thread is because of what you and barcanista where saying on this thread -
www.nairaland.com/1883795/unpaid-salaries-akwa-ibom-teachers

Now you finding excuses for Oshiomhole even after saying it's no excuse!
But during the Akwa ibom case, (in which no major news portal carried the news) where it was stated that it was due to them not doing the biometric registration, You people were calling Akpabio names! You even compared him to governors like Suswan!

Obiagelli:

I guess you didn't read before quoting me. It wrong for the governor not to pay salaries, it is also wrong for the fg not to pay allocation in full. The fg is yet to dispute the claims by the governor.

Obiagelli:
“If truly the country is not broke, then the real allocation to states should be given to them,”
Governor Okorocha stressed.

Illegal Deductions
He wondered why the PDP governors were not complaining about the dwindling revenue, urging the Federal Government to addressed the issue
and not politicise it.

oduastates:

Cut the size of government.
The meat to cut out of Edo state is the civil service itself. The civil service salary accounts for most of the recurrent expenditure . You are talking as if the Nigerian civil service is that reasonable. They would rather have the whole budget spent on salaries with no capital expenditure .as if government is for the typical, 25,000 strong ,Nigerian state civil service where there are 6 million other citizens to be taken care of .
If Abuja is not paying the state , where should the governor get the money from.
Even amaechi from the rich Rivers state has had to dip into his rainy day fund.
