Members of the National Association of Academic Technologists, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife branch, on Wednesday, staged a peaceful protest over the non-payment of their withheld salaries for over five months and the arrears of allowances by the Federal Government.
The protesters, who had gathered on the university campus for the demonstration, also accused the Federal Government of reneging on the 2009 agreement it entered into with them.
Armed with placards bearing various inscriptions, they vowed not to back down until their entitlements were paid.
Briefing journalists shortly after the protest, the OAU NAAT chairman, Mr. Matthew Oluwaniyi, represented by his vice, Aminu Rotimi, said the salaries of union members had been withheld by the Federal Government due to the strike that lasted five and a half months in 2022.
