If you had passed through Ugbowo – Lagos Express way, Benin City this morning, you would wonder if that is the venue of the annual EdoFest as members of Senior Staff Association of Nigeria University (SSANU) came out en mass to protest the release of their allowance, reinstatement of staff school teachers into the university payroll in line with court judgement and government productiveness in bringing the new minimum wage to workers among others.
The protest has resulted in a heavy traffic jam along the Ugbowo – Lagos Express way. The protest is still ongoing as of the time of writing this report.
