Members of staff of the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State, on Wednesday, staged a protest against non-payment of the 10 months’ salaries and allowances.
The angry workers under the auspices of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, and the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnics, blocked the main gate of the institution during the protest.
The protesters, who wielded leaves, were chanting solidarity songs against the school and the government.
They called on the state government to pay all outstanding salaries of their members and implement N35,000 wage award for the polytechnic’s staff in line, with the directives of the Federal Government.
