Lecturer Faints In Bank As FG Pays Him N150 Instead Of N150,000.

Information gathered from a witness shows that, the lecturer fainted
inside a bank located within the institution’s premises after discovering
that his account had only been credited with N150 by the state
government as 50 percent of his February salary instead of N150,000.
The lecturer, who is a post-graduate student at the Federal University of
Technology, Akure, was said to have lamented, after being resuscitated
by the bank’s officials, that the money paid by the government into his
account could not even transport him to Akure, where he was billed to
write an examination.

He was said to have added that he had some outstanding fees to pay at
the university which he had proposed to pay with the expected salary.
The lecturer was however admitted into a private hospital in Osogbo
where his blood pressure, which had increased as a result of the
shocking discovery in his account, was being managed.
It would be recalled, since November 2014, lecturers of the four tertiary
institutions in the state – Osun State College of Technology, Esa-Oke;
Osun State Polytechnic, Iree and colleges of education in Ilesa and Ila-
Oragun – have expressed concern over alleged discrepancies in the
payment of their salaries.
