The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) and the Senior Staff Union of Colleges of Education Nigeria (SSUCOEN) on Moday staged a protest at the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED), Ijanikin, Lagos State over the managements inability to pay the salary arrears of lecturers.
The aggrieved workers locked the school’s gates and prevented students and others from gaining access. They only allowed Secondary school students writing GCE in after thorough scrutiny by union leaders.
Provost of the school, Bashorun Olalekan Wasiu was equally prevented from entry the school and was asked to go to Alausa and report the development to the relevant authorities.
Chairman of the school’s chapter of COEASU, Avosetinyen Michael said both the school management and State Government had failed the workers as most of the issues raised bothered on poor funding.
Responding, the Provost, said the issues raised were not new and that he expected the union leaders to adopt a collaborative approach in dealing with them.
