Eze Orlumeni Urges Peace Amid Protest

The traditional ruler of Rumuolumeni community in Obio Akpor local government area of Rivers State, His Royal Highness, Eze Orlumeni, has appealed to indigents of the community who protested at the gate of the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education over unemployment, to remain calm.

Eze Orlumeni, who made the appeal in an interview with our correspondent in Port Harcourt, said the leadership of the community has commenced dialogue with the university authority to resolve the issue.

He said “We have dialogued and reached an understanding, I will tell the youths of Rumuolumeni to exercise patient, while we continue with dialogue with the school authorities and relevant authorities we are on that palms of dialogue and we know that through dialogue we can achieve whatever we want so let everyone hold their peace whereas the community leadership and the school authority will work a way out of it”.

The traditional ruler, who described the people of Rumuolumeni community as very peaceful, blamed the former governing Council of the University for not carrying the community along in the last employment exercise conducted in the institution.

“A situation where no consideration was given to the host community by the government council, so when people see some level of injustice and marginalization it is normal that they will speak out, that is what the youth of Rumuolumeni have done today they spoke out, concerning their displeasure over how the community was treated” he stated.

While emphasising that less than one percent of the employment quota was given to the community in the last employment exercise conducted by the university, Eze Orlumeni said the protest by the youths was prompted by the non-response of government to concerns raised by the community over the issue.
