Some of the placard include “Ukor is a Scam,” A Revolutionist Without a vision “,Buhari Save Us From National Troupe of Nigeria ,” Our M.D has not resume in two years.

One placard on display by workers described Ukor as revolutionary without any known achievement since he was appointed to rescue the national dance troupe from collapse.
