Part-time staff of Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa, Oyo State, have appealed to Governor Seyi Makinde to grant them permanent appointments, citing years of stagnation without promotion and worsening economic conditions.
The workers made the appeal in a letter dated October 19, 2026, addressed to the governor at the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan.
In the letter, they said many of them had remained on the same employment status for more than 15 years without promotion.
They described their situation as increasingly difficult, noting that the prevailing economic challenges had made it difficult for them to cope with their financial responsibilities on their current salaries.
The workers said their appeal was informed by the prolonged nature of their part-time appointments and the need for improved employment conditions.
“We are writing this letter with humility and sincere hope to respectfully appeal for your kind consideration and compassionate assistance regarding the present situation of part-time staff of Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa,” they stated.
They further explained that many of them had experienced prolonged stagnation in their employment, with no promotion for over 15 years.
“Many of us had been stagnant for more than 15 years with no promotion. We are currently facing many challenges due to the current economic situation of the country, which has made it difficult for us, as our salary can no longer sustain us,” the letter read.
The staff appealed to Makinde to use his office to consider their plight and facilitate their conversion to permanent employment.
They, however, acknowledged that such a decision would be subject to established rules and procedures, adding that they were not seeking to undermine the regulations governing appointments in the institution.
“We understand the importance of the rules and procedures guiding this matter and we do not intend to disregard them. However, we sincerely hope that our circumstances will be considered with compassion and understanding,” they said.
The workers expressed hope that the governor would consider their request favourably, saying permanent appointments would help address the challenges arising from their prolonged employment status.
