The protesting teachers highlighted the discrepancy, noting that unlike other state civil servants who received their bonuses along with their December 2023 salaries, they were inexplicably excluded.
Governor Fubara had initially brought joy to workers, including members of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress in the state, by announcing the bonus for each civil servant before the Christmas holidays.
Gathering outside the Government House, the disgruntled teachers urged the state government to address the situation promptly and ensure they obtain the promised bonus.
One of the teachers, identified as Oke, expressed their disappointment, stating, “We were so happy when we heard that the governor approved a N100,000 Christmas bonus for all civil servants. So we assumed that the last Christmas was going to be very great for us.”
“On Monday, schools will be resuming. Most of us traveled and we have returned. We have exhausted all we have. So we are here this morning to register our complaints to our dear loving governor to help us talk to those who are holding our Christmas bonus.”
“Our N100,000 Christmas bonus should be released because it will go a long way in cushioning the effect of the hardship, especially in this January.”
Others who spoke accused their banks and the state Universal Basic Education Board of neglecting the matter.
An official from the government, addressing the protesting teachers, commended their peaceful disposition and assured them that their complaints would be thoroughly examined.
