Staff members of Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), and Local Government Education Authority (LGEA), from the 18 local councils took to the streets of Benin City demanding for the payment of their three months salaries arrears, and the N25, 000 minimum wage.

The protesters were armed with placards, with various inscription such as, “no SUBEB, no red roofs,” “Comrade Governor, Adams Oshiomhole please sign the committee reports,” “though it is our salary, please pay us our four-month salary,” “leave transport grant, pay relativity,” and “pay incremental credit and N25, 000 increase in minimum wages.”

Spokesperson for the protesters, Daniel Odion urged the state government to order the immediate release of the committee’s reports set up by the state government to ascertain the true status of the agency’s staff, that is for the state and those for the local governments.

Odion who said the committee has since concluded its assignment, noted that the state governor has not assented to the reports, positing that the non-assenting to the report has made it impossible for the state government to pay them their financial entitlements.
