He was appointed on Wednesday just as the staff of
the institution continue with the indefinite strike.
The appointment came as the state government gave
a-24 hour deadline for members of ASUP to indicate interest whether
to work at the new Polytechnic in Ipokia or not.
The state government had begun the process of
transformation of MAPOLY into Moshood Abiola University of Science
and Technology and had ordered the staff to transit their status to
the new Polytechnic in Ipokia.
The development had led to an indefinite strike by
the workers of MAPOLY which had affected the second semester
examination as it had been put on hold .
In the internal memorandum DATED November 29 and issued from the office of the Deputy Registrar of the institution and directed to all academic staff through Directors / HoDs/ Head of Units, with refrence number MAP/ADM/CON.70/VOL.XVI.231.
The letter read
“Take off of Ogun State polytechnic, Ipokia.
“Following the receipt of a circular from the
Ministry of Eduction Science and Technology, on the above subject
matter, I am to inform you that His Excellency, the governor of Ogun
state Senator Ibikun Amosun has directed that as many academic staff
of MAPOLY who are desirous of transiting her staff to the Ogun state
Polytechnic, Ipokia are urged to established such interest with
immediate effect.
“A compiled list/ details of interested academic staff will be forwarded to the ministry latest by Thursday 30th Nov. 2017.
“You are therefore to indicate your interest at the office of the undersigned with immediate effect”.
It has been gathered that the union had
unanimously agreed to shun the deadline while it embarks on the
strike until the demands are met by the government .
The new deputy Rector might be officially announced by the government any moment as Ajayi has accepted to up the task.
