The Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin OluwaRotimi Akeredolu, SAN has ordered the reabsorption of 59 sacked workers of the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, into the state’s civil service.

The workers were teaching at the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Staff Primary and Secondary Schools, before their sacking following the authorities’ inability to financially run the schools.

The disengagement of the teachers sparked crisis between the school management and the institution’s chapter of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics.


Speaking at a meeting with the representatives of SSANIP held on the campus, the Chairman of the polytechnic’s Governing Council, Mr Banji Alabi, said the governor ordered that the sacked workers should be reabsorbed into the mainstream state teaching service.

Alabi said, “The polytechnic in collaboration with the state government has offered to reabsorb the disengaged workers into the mainstream state teaching service and deployed in primary and secondary schools within Owo Local Government Area.”

In a statement jointly issued at the end of the meeting by the SSANIP Chairman, Mr Chris Olowolade and Secretary, Mr Samuel Olorunnusi, the union commended the management for the development.


The association also appealed to the polytechnic’s authorities to give the workers an option of being transferred to the mainstream of the polytechnic instead of the state teaching service alone.

The statement read in part, “The governing council representative appealed to the union to see the magnanimous gesture of the state governor in directing that the disengaged staff school members be absorbed into the (state) primary and secondary schools as an opportunity for them as they can rise to the position of principal and head teacher in no time because they will be replaced where their contemporaries in the teaching service are.”

Bros, no talk wetin you know oo. Doing fantastically well by hiking school fees which he promised not to touch? Construction of 1km road for almost months without any sign of progress? Sacking about 700 workers in the state and reabsorbing 59? Is that what doing fantastically well meant to you?

A welcome development from a working governor

Better pikin

If you had a Governor like Aketi, your parents in the SE won't be mixing kerosene with their soup. Ondo people are not responsible for your inability to elect sensible leaders.

The more stupid leaders you people elect in Igboland, the more you punish your parents living in Igboland.

God don better some people bread

Waw

Wow, that was harsh man!
Stop this guys.

That's a good one.

Don't just go there bro that guy is a fantastic human disaster the most annoying thing is kogites fell my hand in failure to boot the blockhead guy out to teach him a bitter lesson.

I'm really surprise that Akeredolu is performing these much it's so good and great to have a better person in power to be honest.

Let him continue the good job.

Met this man yesterday at a function. A perfect example of a gentle man with good heart. He is fully aware of his environment and quite schooled on who he must align with to be successful. APC aside, he is getting closer to his people day by day with enduring projects.
