In a directive by the Rivers State Ministry of Education, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori, Innocent Ogbonnaya Nwanwo, has reveled that the state government has ordered the sack of no fewer than 344 newly recruited staff, including lecturers during the immediate past administration of former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
He also said the government also directed the Rector of the polytechnic, Sir Obianko Worlu Elechi to proceed on compulsory leave.
“The recent employment exercise we had at the Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori has been cancelled. The reason is that the government needed to review the process of their employment. The process that brought in the newly employed people; don’t forget, they have not started work, has been called off; it has been terminated by the state government.
Right now, they don’t have a job here in the Rivers State Polytechnic. Technically speaking, that is the truth. The Rector is on leave; he was asked to proceed on leave.”
