ON STRIKE AGAIN

AOCOED; ON STRIKE AGAIN

 Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) has gone on strike again with both lecturers and the non-teaching staff in agreement. The school located at Otto/Ijanikin is affiliated with Eksu and Unad. The ongoing strike is caused by some grievances on the part of the staff, some of which include a proposed increment of salary for the staff, defaults in the payment of salaries as at when due etc.

This strike has caused them to closed down the school gates thereby no person(s) is allowed in the school premises. These act has made both secondary

(Aocoed international school) and primary (Aocoed staff school) school to shut down therefore causing the students to have a compulsory and unexpected break. This strike will continue until they get a positive response from the government.

Not only the students are feeling the headache but the transport workers in these areas is not finding it funny either, a trip from Agbara to okoko that will take them nothing less than (30) minutes now takes almost an hour due to the slight traffic jam caused by these angry set of individuals. The state government needs to come to the aid of the students as soon as possible because they had already wasted more than two(2)

weeks of serious academic activities to the Ebola virus threat that ravaged the nation as at that time.

This strike will not only cause instability in the educational body but it will also prevent the school from completing the curriculum of the academic calendar year. Speaking on behalf of Nigeria students “this is a malicious and an unforgivable injustice to education”
