Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Workers at the Polytechnic Ibadan on Monday shut the institution down over non-payment of the federal government approved minimum wage in the institution.<\/p>\n

The worker who includes both the academic and non-academic staff of the institution declared an indefinite strike on Monday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that a motion for strike action was moved and seconded during a congress by the unions.<\/p>\n

It was emphasized that the strike was total and comprehensive, and no worker is exempted as essential services, till the government accedes to the demands.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST correspondent who visited the institution on Monday observed that all the gates in the institution were shut down.<\/p>\n

The general meeting of the academic and non-academic staff of the institution convened by a Joint committee of all Staff Unions said the governing council and the Oyo State government have repeatedly refused to implement the minimum wage for workers in the citadel of learning.<\/p>\n

Chairman, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP), Comrade Abiodun Abegunde, noted that the issue must be fought to a logical conclusion.<\/p>\n

Abegunde disclosed that several efforts have been employed to resolve the impasse, but to no avail.<\/p>\n

He added that the wage structure being demanded by the Unions is even lower than that being enjoyed by sister institutions in other states.<\/p>\n

Chairman, Non-Academic Staff Union, (NASU), in the institution, Comrade Ibrahim Akande said the Governing Council itself was incapacitated by the overreaching activities of the consultant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
