Group laments Ogun government’s insensitivity to workers’ plight

The Centre for Policy Intervention in Africa (CEPIA) has called on Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to prioritise employees’ rights by paying up the six-month accrued salary of staff of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijebu Ode.

“Considering the prevailing situation, therefore, it has become imperative to denounce the inhumane treatments TASUED lecturers have been subjected to by the administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun. The failure by the government to adequately increase the subvention of the university and other tertiary institutions in Ogun State.’
 
CEPIA, therefore, called on critical stakeholders across platforms of traditional, religious, and civil society groups in Ogun State to urgently prevail on Abiodun to demonstrate concern for the plight of TASUED lecturers. 
  
CEPIA urged Abiodun to demonstrate commitment to the payment of salary arrears and entitlements of TASUED lecturers without further delay. Education remains a major asset Ogun State has leveraged to assume the premium status of gateway state in Nigeria. 
  
The group called for immediate settlement of salary arrears and entitlements of TASUED lecturers without further delay.
