The Ondo state-owned Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, has been shut indefinitely following disruption of activities in the institution by staff and lecturers.

It was gathered that lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) and other staff of the polytechnic have refused to work over unpaid entitlements and salaries.

The staff were also said to have disrupted the students from writing examination which prompted the management to announce a closure of the polytechnic until further notice.
