Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola
At least 141 members of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, and Non- Academic Staff Union, NASU, in Osun State owned tertiary institutions have been fired by the government. The sacked workers, it was gathered, were victims of the on-going controversial restructuring of tertiary institutions in the state. The two institutions affected by the gale of sack are Osun State College of Education, Ila and Osun State College of Education, Ilesa.
The state chairman and secretary of Council of Academic Staff Unions Osun State Owned Tertiary Institutions (CASUOSTI), Comrade Lasisi A. Jimoh and Comrade Olusegun Lana, respectively, in a press statement, said "letters of termination of appointment were issued to several members of staff in Osun State owned tertiary institutions today (Friday)". Credible sources revealed that the leaders of the two unions directed their members not to collect the letters. No government official was willing to comment on the development as several calls and text messages put across to them were not replied.
