Staff of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State
yesterday protested over the alleged dismissal of 45 teachers of the
University Staff Primary School by the federal government.
The protesters under the auspices of the Senior Staff Association of
Nigerian Universities said affected teachers have been served their
dismissal letters.
They however vowed that they would resist the development.
The workers of the institution displayed placards with various
inscriptions such as ‘Buhari this not the change we voted for. Save our
jobs’, ‘Daramola Don’t privatize FUTA Staff Primary School’, ‘Teachers
are not 2nd class citizens’, ‘Stop maltreating us in FUTA staff primary
School’ etc.
Addressing newsmen, the chairman of the association in the
institution, Mr Benedict Chukwudi said that members of SSANU nationwide
would begin an indefinite strike from today if the federal government
failed to withdraw its circulars that sacked the 2000 members.
