Ibadan Polytechnic Begins Indefinite Strike

Members of the Non Academic Staff Union, NASU of the Polytechnic of Ibadan, yesterday stormed the south gate of the institution with placards bearing different inscriptions calling on the management of the polytechnic to end their suffering.

Chairman of the union, Mr. Kehinde Nihinlola explained that the development was due to untold hardship the non-payment of the monthly salary had brought upon them.

He noted that the union had written a series of letters to the management of the institution but yielded no positive outcome.

The communiqué sent to the school management read:

I Was A Bus Driver When I Was In Ibadan Polytechnic- Fayose Humbly Says

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has disclosed he was a bus driver while in tertiary institution- Ibadan Polytechnic. The governor disclosed this yesterday while swearing in new state excos of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria in Ado Ekiti. He said;

“Please, I want to commend you for contributing immensely to the development of the state’s economy, but don’t allow yourselves to be used by evil-doers. You can see that some kidnappers were paraded recently. Information from them revealed that they have been using some of your members. I was once a driver like you. I used the money I got from driving to sponsor myself for HND at Ibadan Polytechnic, but I did not get desperate. All I’m saying is that being a driver you can make it in life. You will become what you want to become in life with hard work. Don’t join evil gang for you to get rich overnight, try and rise through the ladder like we did.”

Good to know he is part of the product of this beautiful town.
