The management of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State has ordered the immediate closure of the school indefinitely. The closure is heavily linked to the insistence of the management to get lecturers under the aegis of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics to conduct examination despite the backlog of salary arrears owed them. The Union had embarked on a peaceful protest to air their discontent with the status quo.
In a statement signed by the school’s Acting Registrar Mr. Sola Atiku, the closure is in order to forestall breakdown of law and order. All students are expected to vacate the school premises by 3pm today, Tuesday 18th of June, 2019.
