MAPOLY Workers Allege Governor Amosun Of Plot To Sack Them
Workers of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, MAPOLY, Abeokuta, have alleged that Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun is planning to sack some of them.
In a statement signed by the branch Chairmen of the Non-Academic Staff Union, Kola Sopade; Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic, Babatunde Osifalujo; and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnics, Kola Olawunmi, the workers said they had been informed that the governor was also planning to disband the three unions and sack the executive officers.
The workers have been at the loggerheads with the state government over the conversion of MAPOLY to Moshood Abiola University of Science and Technology, and the establishment of Ogun State Polytechnic in Ipokia Local Government Area of the state.
They said the conversion of the polytechnic to a university without funding, and non-payment of outstanding salaries and allowances as well as non-payment of N170m pension deductions caused problems between them and the state government.
But the Special Adviser to Amosun on Media Rotimi Durojaiye, said the allegations were not true.
