RUGIPO STAFF AND RETIREES FACE HARDSHIP OVER UNPAID SALARIES AND PENSIONS
Staff and retirees of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic are experiencing financial difficulties due to unpaid salaries and pensions. Concerns have been raised over wage delays and welfare conditions.
Legitdan news report that staff and retirees of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic are facing financial hardship as salaries, pensions, and gratuities remain unpaid.
The situation has been linked to funding challenges, with the Ondo State Government maintaining that it is not directly indebted, while relying on the institution’s management to meet wage obligations through monthly subventions.
Reports indicate that the available subvention has been insufficient to cover staff salaries and entitlements, leaving workers and retirees with outstanding payments.
It was also noted that some staff are still receiving the previous minimum wage of eighteen thousand naira, which is below the approved national minimum wage.
Retirees have also been affected, with delays in pension and gratuity payments impacting their welfare.
The development has raised concerns about the need for improved funding and policy attention to ensure timely payment of salaries and pensions within the institution.
