Workers in the employ of The Polytechnic, Ibadan on Thursday kicked against what they described as an “amputated salary structure” used for the payment of their January 2021 salary.

M. Oyebola, emphasised that since they were not part of the Memorandum of Understanding, the new salary structure remains unacceptable.
