Abia State Government, amidst months of
unpaid workers’ salaries, has removed
rector of the state Polytechnic, Aba, Sir
Allwell Onukaogu, and the Provost of the
state College of Education Technical,
Arochukwu (ASCETA), Dr. Christian
Nwanmuo.
This is even as both teaching and non-
teaching staff of Abia State Polytechnic on
Monday embarked on an indefinite strike
over unpaid salaries and other
emoluments.
Prof. Eleazar Ikonne, Deputy Vice
Chancellor (Academics) of Abia State
University will replace Sir Onukaogu, while
Prof. Nnenna Kanno is to take over at
ASCETA.
While the staff members of Abia State
Polytechnic were owed six months salary
arrears, their ASCETA counterparts were
also owed six months salary after that of
April was paid last week.
The Sun newspapers had, in recent
editions, reported sickening decay in higher
institutions in Abia State, where lecturers in
such institutions were eating the bread of
sorrow, due to months of unpaid salaries.
According to a terse statement signed by
the Secretary to the State Government
(SSG), Prof. Nkpa Agu Nkpa, the heads of
the institutions were removed due to
unspecified issues in their schools.
They were directed to hand over to their
successors on or before Tuesday next
week.
The government’s action took many by
surprise because while Onukaogu had few
months to the end of his second tenure as
the rector of the state polytechnic,
Nwamuo was recently re-appointed
provost against strong opposition by the
workers.
