Students of The Ibadan Polytechnic have urged the Oyo State
Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, to take steps that can urgently end the strike
embarked upon by their lecturers.
Lecturers of the
school under the auspices of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics
have been on strike since last December to protest against the alleged
underfunding of the school, non-completion of their hazard allowances
and the failure of the government to constitute a governing council for
the institution.
At a briefing, the institution’s Student Union
President, Iyiola Oladimeji, who sought the intervention of the
governor, on Saturday, also urged the ASUP members to suspend the strike
while it engages the government in a dialogue.
Oladimeji said,
“ASUP of the Ibadan Polytechnic must at this point bring to the fore the
interest of Nigerian students whom they have been claiming to be
fighting for. They should do so by engaging the state government and the
management in further dialogue, while returning to class without
hesitation.”
