College Denies Rift With Labour Unions

The management of the Rivers State College of Health Science and Technology says it has cordial relationship with all the labour unions operating in the college.
The management which said this in Port Harcourt also denied the rumour that labour unions in the institution were threatening to embark on industrial action to paralyse academic activities in the college.
Registrar of the institution, Patricia Lawson told newsmen that the alleged frosty relationship with the unions which is being spread by some local newspapers was the handiwork of detractors.
She said the management might be forced to take legal action against the affected tabloid, if they failed to retract the stories.
Ms Lawson also described as false, insinuations that the sum of two hundred million naira purportedly received from the state government was mismanaged, stressing that no such money was received from the state government.
According to the management, the rumours were targeted at tarnishing the good image of not only the college, but that of the Provost, Dr Franklin Nlerum.
It further said it was only the Rivers State House of Assembly that could make laws relating to the college, stressing that until the laws are amended, it will continue to remain under the supervision of the Rivers State Ministry of Health.
According to the management, until the new bill which is now before the state Assembly is passed, issues of retirement age and salary structures as contained in the new bill would be addressed and restated the determination of the management to improve the condition of workers and staff of the college.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
