The management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, Ogun State, has announced the suspension of academic activities following the refusal of workers to call off their strike action.
Both the academic and non-academic staff of MAPOLY on Thursday embarked on an indefinite strike due to nonpayment of their July, August and September salaries.
In an internal memorandum sent to all students by the Registrar, Olubunmi Elewodalu, the management said it is suspending academic activities for one week, starting from Monday, October 9.
The memo urged all students to stay off campus until otherwise directed.
It noted that the temporary suspension of academic activities is a result of the need to address the prevailing circumstances in the Polytechnic.
The school’s Public Relations Officer Yemi Ajibola, confirmed the suspension of academic activities.
He also noted that it is important for students to go home since their lecturers will not be available to meet them in classes.
Meanwhile, students of the polytechnic have threatened to stage a peaceful protest today over the situation of things in MAPOLY.
