Ritman University, Secondary/Nursery schools Shutdown by Staff over 25 Month Salary Arrears
*Staff of Ritman Group of Schools (Primary, Secondary and University) protest nonpayment of 25 months salaries.
*The Ritman Proprietor, Senator Emmanuel Ibokessien, bled the Akwa Ibom State Government owned Akwa Savings and Loans Limited to coma by refusing to repay a whooping N150 Million Naira loan.
*He has been hiring SANs to battle the bank in court. He duped the bank.
Senator Ibokessien should be picked up immediately by anti-graft agencies for fraud.
*I've been threatened severally over this Ibokessien debt matter but they have to know that I am above destruction.
False story. I was at Ritman University and Ritman Schools on that day, and everything I saw there disproved the claims you are making. The pictures I have posted on the following link https://web.facebook.com/edidiongabasi.esara/posts/10216560804836264 were taken in Ritman after 10am on the day you claim that the Ritman nursery/primary, secondary (college) and university were shut down. The truth is that:
ReplyDelete1. A peaceful protest took place at Ritman University from 6am to 10am on Wednesday 18 March 2020.
2. The protest was carried out by students on scholarship of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP). NO STAFF of Ritman University, Ritman College or Ritman Nursery and Primary School took part in the protest.
3. The students were protesting against non-payment of their allowances by the Presidential Amnesty Office. One of the placards posted on the university gate read: “PAP, our money”.
4. By 10am same day, the students called off their peaceful protest after an appeal by the University Visitor, Senator Emmanuel Ibok Essien, who had called the Amnesty Office and received assurances that money for the students had already been released and payment was only being delayed by administrative procedures.
5. The pictures of the university gate taken after 10am same day as posted in the link: https://web.facebook.com/edidiongabasi.esara/posts/10216560804836264 clearly show that the blockade and placards at the gate had been removed by the students. The other pictures in the link, also taken on the same day, show that normal activities went on without a hitch at Ritman Schools (College, Nursery & Primary), while work began in Ritman University after 10am on the day of the protest.
6. As for the Akwa Savings and Loans matter, be it known that the case had been dismissed by the Federal High Court, Uyo. Anyone can check with the court to verify. It smacks then of ill-will for anyone to link a peaceful protest by Amnesty students with that matter and to make unfounded allegations against the Senator. Since the court in its wisdom deemed it fit to dismiss the bank’s case against Senator Emmanuel Ibok Essien (not Ritman University), does it make sense for one to impute wrongdoing to the Ritman University Visitor without any proof?
7. I advise the public to always call in to Ritman University for clarification on issues rather than swallow anything they see on social media which can easily be manipulated for ulterior motives.
Is it same place I was yesterday morning that this writer is writing about. Dear poster,the protest was a peaceful protest by Presidential Amnesty Programme Scholarship Students who did that to demand for their unpaid money by PAP. Why then do you link it the senator or bank loan or salary?
ReplyDeleteWhere did you hear of a 25 month unpaid salary to staff?
Wasn't the bank loan case at the court struck out?
I wish I can see your name here,I would have given you a bite of destruction so you know that destruction isn't far fetched for anyone who seeks to destroy another.
Next time check and verify your facts before you post rubbish like this.
Thank you.
