Eze expressed disappointment over the challenges faced by academic staff members at the institution.
He highlighted the significant salary gap compared to counterparts in other universities who reportedly receive monthly incomes ranging from N230,000 to N250,000.
The lecturer wrote:
"Yesterday, I got insulted big time! By my UniPort salary! I went to my bank, First Bank, Choba to borrow N5 million.
"My account officer, a jolly good lady, said: "We cannot give you up to that amount as a loan."
"Why?" I asked. Your salary cannot carry it. Wait, let me see."
However, as of the time of filing this report, the lecturer disclosed that he had been "restricted from commenting on the recent post about his salary".
Adding that, "some people who don't like the post reported me to FB."
