Protest Rocks Ondo Varsity Over Workers’ Dismissal

By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

Workers at the Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa, Ondo State, on Wednesday morning, staged a protest, against the dismissal of over 35 of their colleagues by the school’s authority.

According to reports, all the concerned workers received their sack letters on Tuesday, June 20, 2023.

The protesting workers, who shut the school’s main gate blocked the entrance preventing people to go out or come to the campus.

It was gathered that the sack of the affected workers was approved by the governing council of the institution but the protesters frowned at the development because the sacked workers were duly employed, issued appointment letters, did all documentation and had worked in the school for over six months.

They vowed to continue to paralyse all academic and non-academic activities on the campus until the management reverses the decision.
