Protesting workers of the Plateau State College of Health Technology, Pankshin, under the auspices of the Joint Union of Plateau State Owned Tertiary Institutions on Thursday shut down the health institution.
“As workers of this institution, we are saying that if the government has sympathy for us and for this noble institution which is the oldest College of Health Technology in Nigeria and the West African sub-region, then it must come to our aid because the college is looking more of a pre-primary school and we can’t continue this way. We want to grow and we want the government to intervene in this matter so that we can get leaders who will come and develop the health institution.
“There shall be a provost for the college who shall be appointed from within the college by the governor on the advice of the council or that the governor on the advice of the council may appoint the provost from outside the college if no person within the college is qualified to be so appointed. “We are saying that his reappointment is unacceptable to the workers because his appointment was against the recommendation of the governing council and moreover, we have qualified and capable persons within the institution who will head the college. So we, want the government to respect the law”
