The National Industrial Court sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Tuesday reinstated 15 out of the 32 sacked workers of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo.
The court also ordered the management to pay the reinstated workers their outstanding salaries and allowances which have been withheld since they were sacked in early 2013.
The reinstated workers are: Abodunrin Moses, Adeoni Olusegun, Agbi Nelson, Arijeniwa Adedotun, Ayodeji Akinsanmi, Mrs. V.O Ayodele, S.B Bolaji, Ekundayo Gbenga and A.M Elegbede Others are: Olubamiji Kumuyi, Ogunbode Benson, T.L Olemija, Olugbamila Omotayo, Omotola cAlaba Olumayowa and S.O Oniyelu.
The Presiding Judge, Justice, Ndidi Ubaka, admitted that the workers were wrongfully sacked by the polytechnic authorities, saying the institution failed to justify the reasons why the workers were sacked.
Ubaka noted that the court returned 15 workers because they were able to provide the court with necessary documents which showed they were senior staff of the polytechnic.
The judge, however, said the court could not return the remaining 17 others, because they were unable to convince the court about their status in the school.
