Wa Poly lecturers to strike over Rector's appointment Lecturers of the Wa Polytechnic have threatened a sit-down strike today in protest against the appointment of Professor Emmanuel Marfo-Owusu, as rector of the school. The workers, on Saturday, boycotted an induction ceremony for the Rector, whom they accused of financial malfeasance, among other things. The agitated workers, comprising the Polytechnic Teachers Association, Polytechnic Administrators Association and the Polytechnic Workers’ Association of the Wa Polytechnic, staged the boycott after the Governing Council of the school reportedly ignored their request for the new Rector to step aside until investigations into the allegations are completed.
