Laspotech Management Appeal To Striking Members To Respect Court Order . Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH) management led by Mr. Sogunro Samut(The Institution’s Rector) has called on the striking members of staff to have a rethink on their planned attacks on the Academic staff and also urged them to abide by the Order of the National Industrial Court which directed them to maintain peace on the campuses of the Polytechnic.

The CONSTISS 15 Migration crisis, which has pitched the management against the staff members, especially the non-academic Union, had led the aggrieved staff members to institute a court action against the Lagos State Government and the Polytechnic Management at the National Industrial Court for redress and the court directed the parties to maintain peace on the campus.

In a release signed by Olanrewaju K. Kuye, Deputy Registrar (Information and Public Relations) of the Polytechnic, the institution’s management appeals to the ‘striking staff members’ to jettison their alleged planned attack on the academic staff members that have been going about their duties and ensuring that the academic calendar is not truncated.

According to the release, the call became necessary following the alleged incitement by a reporter of Radio Lagos/Eko FM at the press conference organized by the non-academic staff. A voice recording of the alleged incitement is in possession of THE IMPACT.

The release states thus:

“The Management made this call in reaction to an audio recording making rounds in which one Muyiwa Kalejaiye from Radio Lagos/Eko FM was inciting the non-academic against the academic staff members who have been working to ensure that the academic calendar is not truncated, that innocent students graduate on time and the finalists are mobilised for the compulsory National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) exercise.

“In the same vein, the striking members of the polytechnic are advised to respect the freedom of Association and allow the academic staff members and other willing staff members to continue their primary assignments without any form of molestation or harassment”.

Mr. Kuye stated that Mr Salami Gbenga, the only academic staff member amongst the ‘few striking staff members ’ is no longer the Vice Chairman of the academic union.

“The Management wishes to state that, Mr Salami Gbenga, who is the only academic staff member amongst the few striking staff members and who parades himself as the Vice Chairman of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), has ceased to be an Executive member of the academic Union owing to the dissolution of the Union Executive in 2017, hence he is advised to stop indulging and instigating the non- academi
