UNI-STUDENTS-300x178Five months after the closure of four tertiary institutions owned by Osun State Government as a result of strike action, the academic and non-academic staff of the institutions have agreed to suspend their action.
The unions  suspended the action after the state government agreed to meet some of their demands.
The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, (ASUP), Osun State Polytechnic, Iree and Public Relations Officer of Council of Academic Staff Union of Osun State Own Tertiary Institutions, Mr. Dotun Omisore disclosed the decision of the union to newsmen in Osogbo.

On the issue of recruitment of more staff, Omisore noted that the government had agreed to make it priority issue and promise that within the shortest possible time, the government will make new recruitment to beef up academic and non academic staff of the affected institutions.
