Zoe Tamunotonye, a lecturer at the Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic Rumuola in Port Harcourt has turned into a bus conductor for survival over the alleged refusal of the school management to pay him his six months salaries.
Recall that the institution via a statement signed by its Registrar, Chris Woke, dissociated itself from an incident of alleged sexual misconduct against Tamunotonye involving a 200-level female student and consequently slammed him a three months suspension, pending the outcome of an investigation.
But Tamunotonye was spotted in a viral video loading passengers and calling out areas of destinations.
Adorned in black trousers and a white T-shirt with sandal shoes, the lecturer was seen announcing the bus’ destinations.
“Mile one, Mile three, Ikoko. Please hold your change, loading bus,” the lecturer was heard saying while also assisting passengers with their luggage.
When contacted on Monday via telephone, the distraught lecturer told our correspondent that he resorted to the conductor business as several attempts to get an alternative job had hit a brick wall.
Tamunotonye said, “I had an issue with my school and they suspended me for three months without salary. Eventually, they set up a committee, did their findings and after the end of the committee’s work, since March, the committee’s report has not been released.
