The Joint Action Committee (JAC), Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria has decried the mass exodus of academic staff of the institution.
The institution consists of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnic (SSANIP).
Chairman of JAC, Mallam Aliyu Musa Kofa, made the complaint while addressing journalists on the lingering hardship facing the staff.
He stated that the academics were leaving the service of the institution for greener pastures in some institutions owned by the federal government or states as a result of poor conditions of service.
Kofa pointed out that between 2016 and this year, more than 150 academics left the institution for other institutions with better remunerations.
Speaking on the remaining of their 20 per cent of the various agreements reached between Kaduna state government and the JAC of the state-owned tertiary institutions in 2014, the chairman called on the state government to include it in the new minimum wage currently implemented by the government.
He recalled that in the 2010, the state government and his union signed a MoU to that effect, but from that time to date, only 80 per cent was implemented.
