Popular Nigerian activist Martins Vincent Otse better known as VeryDarkMan in a newly released clip, led a protest as he calls out Minister of FCT Nyesom Wike and President Tinubu following the over 9 weeks of strike in Abuja.
VeryDarkMan, also known as VDM, was spotted in a school uniform with the children and by extension, protested at the entrance of the office of Nyesom Wike.
The protest erupted after Wike announced plans to withhold 10 percent of the FCT’s internally-generated revenue (IGR) statutorily allocated to the area councils. This move, he explained, was in response to the ongoing strike by primary school teachers over the councils’ failure to pay the new minimum wage.
However, on Monday, June 23, VDM gathered schoolchildren in their uniforms to publicly express his dissatisfaction with the situation.
VDM wrote; “For the past 9 weeks and counting all the public primary schools in the federal capital territory Abuja have been on strike because of internal problem surrounding the payment of minimum wage.
for this reason these public schools kids have to suffer as a matter of fact they have missed out on last term examinations because the teachers won’t work and so the schools are locked,the government promised to pay 70,000 naira for minimum wage and above 70,000 naira based on their promotional levels.
I decided to bring them out to the FCTA and use the entrance as their new school hopefully the government will remember them,so for now this is our new school,I am certain the government officials will not care because their kids don’t go to the public schools most of them don’t even study in Nigeria……
This is not what @officialasiwajubat promised the Nigerian people….TO THE HONORABLE MINISTER OF FCT please open our public schools,I have heard you call them the leaders of tomorrow how will they lead tomorrow without basic education.”
