POLYTECHNIC IBADAN SSANIP JOINS NASU FOR ONGOING STRIKE

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP), the Polytechnic, Ibadan chapter has joined the Non Academic Staff Union of the institution in the ongoing strike to protest the poor welfare of workers.

SANNIP Chairman at the institution, Mr AKINOLA GBENGA, confirmed this during an interview with Acadawaka Correspondent, JAMES ODEDIRAN.

He however noted that the Academic Staff Union of the institution will not be part of the strike as it has a case in court.

Recall that the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) of the Polytechnic, Ibadan, commenced an industrial action earlier this month over their eight months unpaid arrears by the Oyo State government.

AKINOLA SSANIP JOIN

The decision is as the same as NASSU its only that we are thinking that the management will change their decision on payment and non-payment of salary arrears for almost April last year to September Last year.

After this week by next week, and don’t pay us, I think we are going to close that gate down so to distort the academic activities.

Mr GBENGA also disclosed that all the South West Polytechnics will today ( Monday) converge on Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa, Oyo State, to protest the alleged highhandedness of the institution’s management.
