Students Hold Osun Deputy Governor Hostage Over Unpaid Salaries by Bekwarra(m): 1:13am On Sep 23, 2015
Students of tertiary institutions owned by Osun State
Government on Monday staged a massive protest in
Osogbo against the prolonged strike by their
lecturers.
The lecturers in four state-owened
institutions embarked on an indefinite strike over
three months ago as a result of unpaid salaries,
inadequate staff and non remittance of their pension
deduction made by the state government to the
retirement savings accounts.
The students, mostly from Osun State Polytechnic,
Iree; Osun State College of Technology, Esa Oke;
Colleges of Education in Ila and Ilesa, started the
protest from Olaiya and trekked to Abere, the State
Secretariat singing anti-government songs.
The students had laid siege to the main gate of the
state secretariat after they arrived there at around
11am.
At around 12:50pm, the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Titi
Laoye-Tomori, was driven to the secretariat but the
students prevented her convoy from gaining entry.
Some of the students laid on the ground in front of
her car and some laid at the back making it difficult
for the deputy to go inside or to turn back.
All efforts made by Laoye-Tomori to pacify the irate
students failed as they held her hostage in their
midst.
Some of the students had earlier manhandled the
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr.
Lawrence Oyeniran, by poking his stomach and
making jest of him.
The Chairman, National Association of Nigerian
Students, Osun State, Mr. Lukman Adekitan, said the
students were tired of staying at home due to the
strike in the four institutions.
He called on Governor Rauf Aregbesola to addressed
the issues raised by the lecturers, saying students of
the affected schools have wasted a lot of time due to
incessant strikes.
