OSUSTECH Workers Suspend 6 Weeks Old Strike

The over six-weeks old strike embarked on by the Labour unions in Ondo State University of Science and Technology (OSUSTECH), has been called off. 

The Labour unions include: the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT). 

This was contained in a communiqué signed by their leaders after a Joint Action Congress (JAC) meeting. The communiqué was signed by Peter Akindehinde for NASU, Temola Temisan for SSANU and Bobola Bamigbola for NAAT. In the communiqué, the unions directed all staff of the institution to resume duty on Monday. 

It will be recalled that the unions began an indefinite strike to press for the resignation of the former Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adegoke Adegbite. The unions also demanded adequate funding, urgent facelift of the institution and appointment of a substantive vice chancellor.
