They claimed they are teachers from the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education Demonstration Secondary School , Ndele, Seashell Model Primary School, Port Harcourt, Rivers State University International Secondary and Staff Schools, Port Harcourt and Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic Comprehensive Secondary School, Bori, all in the state.
One of the teachers, Olu Ikulghan, lamented that he and his wife, who are both teachers in the same school, can no longer take care of their children needs.
He explained sadly that his children in higher institutions have dropped out of school because they could not pay their fees, while the younger ones in secondary school were at home as they could not afford their tuition. Ikulghan said, “I was employed to teach right from 1991. I was just a young man and I married somebody, a female teacher from same school. With the recent development, both of us are affected and our children are badly affected.
