By Dayo Johnson, Akure
AKURE — Workers in Ondo State-owned tertiary institutions have issued Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa a 14-day ultimatum to implement the 2026 agreements reached between the Federal Government and university and polytechnic-based unions, threatening a total shutdown of the institutions if their demands are not met.
The ultimatum was issued under the aegis of the Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU; Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics, SSANIP; Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU; and National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT, in Ondo State tertiary institutions, JAC-ODSTI.
The unions said the ultimatum took effect from August 13, 2026, and warned that failure by the state government to meet their demands would trigger what they described as “the mother of all industrial actions” in the state’s education sector.
