Oyo Poly Workers Urge State Govt To Prioritize Their Welfare
Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi
Academic and non-academic staff at Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa in Oyo State are appealing to the state government to prioritize their welfare.
The workers, under the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP), and Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), made this declaration via a statement provided to journalists.
The statement was jointly signed by the trio of Engr Adeboje Taiwo Bode (ASUP Chairman), Mr. Titiloye Joseph (SSANIP Chairman) and Mr Jayeola Titus (NASU Chairman).
According to DAILY POST, the institution is one of the tertiary educational institutions owned by the Oyo State government.
The trio called on the state government to immediately address critical issues relating to their welfare.
“We workers at the institution acknowledged and appreciated the management for the timely disbursement of salaries, as mandated by Governor Seyi Makinde.
“We, however, want the governor to address certain things affecting the institution and its workers. We believe that the inability to address these issues may distrust of industrial harmony in the institution.
“We are strongly against the practice of augmenting salaries from Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). At this point, the workers resolved that the state government provide full subvention to end salary augmentation.
“The government should restore the institution’s capacity to meet its critical operational needs.
“We have critically reviewed the role of the Platinum Consultant, appointed to oversee revenue practices in higher institutions.
“It was noted that the consultant retains 10 percent of all internally generated revenue, a practice deemed exploitative and unnecessary.
“We resolved that the institution must be immediately exempted from the Platinum Consultant’s oversight to ensure equitable treatment and operational efficiency.
“We call for the employment of full-time members of staff to permanently take care of inadequate manpower in the institution,” they stated.
