Olufemi Olaniyi, Ibadan
Many persons with disabilities from some local government areas in Oyo State have stormed the state secretariat at Agodi in protest, demanding to be given more non-teaching jobs by the Oyo State Teaching Service Commission.
The protest which started in the morning caused gridlock on the roads around the area, forcing some motorists to make detour and found alternative routes to their destinations.
The protesters called on Governor Seyi Makinde to intervene in the employment issue, saying out of the 350 slots promised them.
They said their members were given 149 slots.
One of protesters, Segun Adeoye, said, “We are here today protesting because we were shortchanged in employment by TESCOM.
“Our members were given 149 slots instead of 350 we were promised. That is why we want to call the attention of Governor Makinde to please intervene in the issue.”
The Commissioner for Information in the state, Dr Wasiu Olatubosun, did not pick the calls placed to his telephone by our correspondent when contacted.
