The non-teaching staff of the Federal Science and Technical College, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, held a peaceful protest, on Friday, against the principal of the girl’s school, Pauline Etoamaihe.
The protesting workers, who assembled as early as 7a.m in front of the school gate, used an SUV to barricade the gate. A handful of the workers, holding placards, stood in front of the gate, singing solidarity songs.
The workers accused the school principal of insensitivity and highhandedness in her dealings with them. They said for about two years now, the principal was yet to pay Duty Tour Allowance (DTA) to about 100 workers, from different cadres, who attended promotion interviews.
The protest disrupted plans by the principal to organize a send-forth party for retiring workers in the school.
There was a police pick-up truck parked close to the school gate, with four armed police officers inside.
