Workers at the Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology in Okitipupa, Ondo State, protested the dismissal of over 35 of their colleagues by the school’s administration on Wednesday morning.
According to reports, all affected employees received their sack letters on Tuesday.
Protesting employees who shut the school’s main gate blocked the entrance, preventing people from leaving or entering the campus.
It was gathered that the governing council approved the sack of the affected workers of the institution but the protesters frowned at the development on the grounds that the sacked workers were duly employed, issued appointment letters, did all documentation and had worked in the school for over six months.
They vowed to continue to paralyse all academic and non-academic activities on the campus until the management reverse the decision.
