Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Thursday, ordered the sack of 344 lecturers and others employed for the Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori-Ogoni, the headquarters of Khana Local Government Area.
The affected lectures were employed by the Rotimi Amaechi administration last September.
The governor also dissolved the Rivers State Road Traffic Management Authority (TIMA-RIV).
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the River State Government, Opunabo Inko-Tariah, confirmed TIMA-RIV’s disbandment.
TIMA-RIV was also put in place by Amaechi, shortly after he became governor in 2007.
The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the polytechnic , Innocent Ogbonna, confirmed the sack of the lecturers. He also disclosed that the Rector of the Institution, Obianko Elechi, began his terminal leave two weeks ago on the instruction of the state government.
Ogbonna said, “The recent employment exercise we had at the Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori has been cancelled. The process used in employing them was such that the government needs to review. As we speak now that process has already been terminated by the incumbent government. “As it stands now, they don’t have any job with the Polytechnic now; that is the truth, moreso when they are yet to start work before the process was dissolved.”
Is Wike transforming Rivers or making people understand that Rotimi Ameachi's efforts in the State wasn't good enough ?
