Workers of the Ekiti State Government-owned Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti, have bemoaned what they described as the worrisome state of staff welfare and the institution’s financial situation.
The workers, comprising members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions and National Association of Academic Technologists, spoke under the aegis of the Joint Action Committee of the unions in Ikere-Ekiti on Wednesday.
The unions blamed the situation on the failure of the government to review the subvention to the institution over the years and the absence of a capital grant since its establishment.
They appealed for urgent intervention to prevent the workers from embarking on industrial action.
