[PHOTOS] Female CRIN Workers Protest Almost Naked In Ibadan, Demand Director’s Removal

The lingering industrial crisis rocking the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, took on another dimension Monday morning when hundreds of workers took to the Ibadan-Ijebuode Road to protest against the poor administration of the director of CSIN, Professor Malachy O. Akoroda. The women, who were nearly nude, were joined by their male counterparts who all chanted anti-management songs. The presence of the police did not deter them from their agitation, but rather seemed to strengthen them. The workers also barricaded the main entrance of the institute with loads of sand and several wooden posts, upon which they placed placards inscribed with their various complaints and demands of CRIN’s management.
