Lecturers of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta have threatened to embark on strike action over their unpaid salaries and allowance.
The lecturers, under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic, MAPOLY Chapter, vowed to go on strike from January 2, 2021, if their demands are not met by both the management of the school and the Ogun State Government.
They said this in a communique dated December 21, 2020, after an emergency congress, claiming that it had not been paid salaries for five months.
The union also accused the management of the school of not paying its members’ “honoraria for the part-time classes/lectures they held for five consecutive semesters” and not promoting members for four years.
