The Edo State Government has said the protest by workers of the defunct Edo State College of Education Ekiadolor is politically motivated, noting that the protesters were sponsored by politicians hellbent on derailing development in the state.
He traced the genesis of the agitation by the workers to the policies of former Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who had converted the college to Tayo Akpata University without a clear-cut direction on managing the interest of the workers.According to him, “In 2016, the then Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole announced that the College of Education, Ekiadolor was being phased out and would then be Tayo Akpata University, Ekiadolor.
“The workers were asked to move to the College of Education, Igueben, which they have failed, neglected, or refused to comply with. “Since the inception of this government, we have been consistent in giving the school the monthly subvention up till May 2020.“In the last two weeks, the government has released two months subvention to the workers to show good faith in spite of the fact that they were not working.
