Amaechi demands relocation of ex-militants’ camp – The Nation
November 20, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi
Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi yesterday demanded the relocation of the former militants’ rehabilitation camp at Aluu, near the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), over reported cases of assault, rape, looting and disruption of academic activities.
During a visit of heads of security agencies in the state to UNIPORT’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Don Baridam, Amaechi wondered why the youths, who ought to have turned a new leaf, unleashed mayhem on the university community, while protesting their unpaid allowances.
Amaechi was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Magnus Abe.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), National Association of Technologists (NAT) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) continued their strike yesterday over the ex-militants’ action.
