Chairman of the union in UNICAL, Dr John Edor, who led other members on the protest on Wednesday in Calabar, said members of the union were owed eight months’ salary arrears, from March to October.
According to him, the non-payment of the withheld salary arrears has continued to cause untold hardship for the lecturers. “We were eligible for full payment for the month of October; beyond that, we are asking for the payment of the withheld months. Responding, Vice Chancellor of UNICAL, Prof. Florence Obi, commended the lecturers for their peaceful demonstration.
