The management of Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun State, has described the alleged confusion in the institution over delay in the payment of salaries as nothing but a sheer figment of imagination of the writer.

This was contained in a press statement signed by the Protocol, Media and Public Relations Officer of the school, Sola Lawal, and made available to newsmen on Sunday.

The statement added that while the delay in the payment of salaries is a general issue among some Federal Government's agencies and parastatals, the management of the institution is therefore working towards providing succour to ameliorate the present condition of staff.

It also stated that the writer is a desperate alarmist who is a former student and notorious of tarnishing the image of the school through unverified and unsubstantiated stories of dangerous negativity .

The statement, therefore, warned the writer and his co-travellers to desist from such shenanigans, adding that failure to put stop to their mischiefs could land them into trouble as necessary legal action would be taken against them.

" On behalf of the Chairman of the Council, Air Cdre Emmanuel Jekada and the Rector, Dr John Adekolawole, we want to state here unequivocally that there is nothing like confusion in our citadel, the atmosphere is calm and under control.

While we consider the reporter of the story as a confusionist himself and wicked alarmist, It is imperative to inform members of the public that the problem of delay in payment of November salary is not peculiar to Ede Poly alone, it cut across various institutions and agencies, as the Management is not unmindful of untold hardship facing by the entire staff of the Polytechnic, especially during this yuletide.

"The Management once again appeal for understanding and want to assure members of staff that the Council Chairman is working assiduously to ensure that the November salary is paid unfailingly as necessary efforts are in place to forestall further delay in salary.

"Once again, we commend the resilience and strong determination of the entire work force for their patience so far, while wishing them a prosperous new year in advance", the statement said.
