But the PTI’s Deputy Director, Public Affairs Brown Ukafimoni denied that the institution was shut.
He said the students were only asked to proceed on a four-week Christmas break.
It was gathered from an undisclosed source that the workers complained of not receiving their entitlements promptly, lack of implementation of staff promotion as well as the poor state of some of the institute’s facilities.
