According to the group, the court ruled on June 13, 2018 that “the governor’s directive stopping the payment of teachers’ salaries was unlawful, null and void, among others.”
A group, Rivers State Civil Society Coalition has described Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike as callous and lawless for violating the order of the court that asked him to pay teachers of state-owned tertiary institutions.The group which also comprises past students of the schools, said this in a statement to react to the stoppage of salaries to the teaching staff of the government-owned schools by Wike's administration for five years.
The Court of Appeal on October 30, 2020, struck out the appeal sought by the Rivers State Government, for lack of merit.“As a CSO Coalition and past students of this schools, we wish to enlighten the agents of the Rivers State Government on issues of recruitment in the tertiary institutions, since by their statement; they have shown a very high level of ignorance on the subject matter.“Firstly, the Body responsible for recruiting staff of the tertiary institutions is the Governing Council.
