The
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan (UI) Chapter,
has declared a one-week warning strike over illegal pension deductions,
fractional salary payments and non-payment of supervision allowance.
The
decision was taken on Tuesday at a congress convened by the union and presided
over by its Chairman, Dr Deji Omole.
The
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that members also complained over
excessive deductions in their March salaries.
The
management of the university was also alleged to have failed to declare the
Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) profile of the university.
According
to Omole, the warning strike is, therefore, to compel the university
administration to address the issues which ASUU said bordered on the welfare of
her members who are being owed since 2010.
“The
congress of ASUU, UNIBADAN, at its meeting of 4th April, 2017, having received
permission from the national body of the union, hereby, declare a one-week
warning strike.
“The
warning strike will commence from 12:01 midnight of Tuesday, 4th April, to
12:00 midnight of Tuesday, 11th April, 2017.
“The
congress of the union maintains that the failure of the university
administration to satisfactorily resolve all the issues, will force the union
to proceed on a comprehensive and total strike,” said Omole.
The
congress, which was well attended, was also addressed by the national delegates
of ASUU, which included Professors Mahmood Lawan, from Kano; Tony Monye-Emina,
from Benin and Bebe Sese, from Port Harcourt.
NAN
recalls that the union had in a congress resolution in March warned the
university management to address its grievances, bordering on reversal of
illicit deductions and non-payment of promotion arrears.
The
three non-academic staff unions of the institution had also been on strike since March 13, grounding administrative
activities in the institution
