The workers of D.S Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic, Itori-Ewekoro in Ogun State on Monday declared a strike action and chased out students of the institution from the classrooms.
The workers, acting under the aegis of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics, said the decision to embark on the strike was taken during a joint congress held on the campus of the institution.
The workers were armed with placards with various inscriptions, such as “Government should please sack the Rector and Registrar now for peace to reign in D.S Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic”, “Our taxes must be remitted with immediate effect”, “Enough is enough. Our registrar, Mr. Ogundimu Adebayo leave now”, “We don’t want convocation under this condition”, among others.
According to him, the management had been maltreating the staff through non-payment of salaries, non-remittance of pension arrears and allowances, among other things. He said, “Today, all the members of the staff of D.S Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic have taken a fundamental decision and we have embarked on a work-to-rule action. The lecturers will stop teaching and the non-teaching staff will stop working in their offices.
In his reaction, the rector said the management had fulfilled 90 per cent of the demands of the workers.Stressing that the management of the polytechnic was not aware of the strike, he vowed to take the necessary action against it.
