The Polytechnic Ibadan Chapter of the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (SSANIP) on Monday declared an industrial action over the non-implementation of the minimum wage by the Oyo State Government.
A joint committee of all staff unions of the polytechnic, comprising the academic and non-academic staff, held that the governing council and the Oyo State Government, failed to implement the minimum wage for the workers.
The Chairman, Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, Ibadan Polytechnic branch, Abiodun Abegunde, in his remarks during the meeting held in the institution on Monday, said that the matter must be addressed immediately.
Commending the workers for their patience, he noted that past efforts aimed at resolving the logjam had been abortive.
