Eighty two workers of Osun State College of Edu­cation, Ila-Orangun, were yesterday sacked by the management of the state-owned institution.

The development, Daily Sun gathered, was in line with government’s policy to restructure tertiary insti­tutions in the state.

It was also gathered that the affected workers were members of the non-Aca­demic Staff Union (NASU) of the college.

Chairman of the Aca­demic Staff Union of the college, Segun Onifade, confirmed the development to newsmen in Osogbo yes­terday. According to him, the sacked workers were contract staff.

Onifade also disclosed that some of the sacked workers had spent six years before the authorities de­cided to relieve them of their jobs.

Chairman of the col­lege’s Governing Council, Niyi Akande, when con­tacted on phone, however, said he was not aware of the sack.

He said: “I am not aware of that. I have not been told that anybody has been sacked. I am in Abuja.”

Instead of sacking innocent and hardworking workers Osun state should simply file for bankruptcy and get taken over by the federal government temporarily until the state can get back to its normal state.

How many has Aregbe employed since he assumed office. With the current trend, he is adding to the sufferings of his people.

Ogbeni strikes again! Welcome to the labour market anyway!!!

I share this thought!
