Joint action committee of Non-academic staff of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta Ogun state have called for the constitution of the school’s governing board as prescribed by the law establishing the institution to prevent further maltreatment of their members.

The two unions, the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnic and the Non-Academic Staff Union at a news conference in Abeokuta, explained that the non-constitution of the board has led to continuous maltreatment of members of staff by the management of the institution.

The spokesperson of the two groups, the Acting Chairman of SSANIP, Comrade Lekan Dada hinted that the inability of the government to constitute a Governing Council for the school was preventing the appointment of a substantive Rector, lack of promotion for more than two years and non-implementation of minimum wage at the institution.

The two in house unions also disclosed that the situation had worsened to institution management being unable to pay check-up dues of unions and also not able to remit pension deductions to the Pension Fund Administrators in the last two years.

They also decried the non-payment of November and December staff salaries of their members.

The Public Relations officer of the institution Mr Yemi Ajibola when contacted on the workers demand promised the institution would soon appropriately respond to the allegations in due course.
