About 150 workers of the Osun State Colleges of Education in Ilesa and Ila-Orangun have been sacked.
Sack letters were said to have been handed over to the academic and non academic staff of the institutions across various caders.
Eighty five workers of the College of Education Ilesa were given sack letters and sixty nine in the College of Education, Ila.
It was learnt that the State Polytechnic, Iree and state College of Technology were not affected by the sack.
The Director, Bureau of Communication in the Office of the Governor, Semiu Okanlawon, said those affected were workers employed by the managements of the two colleges and not by the government.
According to him, the termination of the workers’ appointments had long been decided, adding that “giving out letters to the affected staff now is just the conclusion of the process”.
The Academic Staff Unions of both institutions have notified the government of readiness to take “any necessary action” against the sack.
Also, the Council of Academic Staff Unions of Osun State owned Tertiary Institutions has directed members not to “collect any sack letter”.
In a statement by its Chairman and Secretary, Lasisi Jimoh, and Lana Olusegun, the union alleged that the government had failed to address “festering issues despite the unions’ several pleas and ultimatum”.
The union said that a congress will soon hold to decide the next line of action. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
