Students of FSTC Usi-Ekiti protest lack of teachers

Students of Federal Science and Technical College (FSTC), Usi Ekiti, have taken to the streets to protest alleged shortage of teachers in the college.

The students, in their numbers on Tuesday, carried placards with different inscriptions, like “bring back our teachers”, “we need more teachers”, and “we lack teachers”, among others, to press home their demands.

Some of them who spoke to newsmen claimed that about 42 of their teachers were recently transferred while 32 were returned.

They complained that they have no teachers for some of their subjects, and called on the federal government to address the issue in the interest of peace and their education.

Efforts to get the reaction of the school authorities proved abortive, as the principal was said to be on suspension since October.
