Ongoing Strike: N30bn earned allowance to be disbursed between ASUU, NASU, SSANU, others — FG

 The federal government has said that the contentious earned allowances, promised to be released for the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), will also be shared with non-academic staff unions.

A meeting between the negotiating teams of the government and ASUU, last week, held to put a stop to the six-month old strike, resolved that a sum of N30 billion will be paid as part of the unpaid earned allowance to workers.

Meanwhile, after a meeting with representatives of the non-academics on Wednesday, it was agreed that the monies will be shared between the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), and Non Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU).

“On the matter of non-payment of earned allowances, the meeting resolved that the recipients of the N30 billion, earlier agreed on with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), would include all the unions in the university sector,” said the spokesperson of the Ministry of Labour, Charles Akpan Wednesday.

Mr Allan said that the unions would work with the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, National University Commission (NUC) and Federal Ministry of Education to achieve that by the end of December 2020.

FG sets up a five-person resolution committee

As concluded at the meeting on Wednesday, the federal government has set up a five-person committee to resolve the inconsistencies in payment of salaries of the non-academic staff members of universities.

The joint action committee of SSANU and NASU had embarked on a 14-day warning strike between October 5 and October 19 to call the attention of the federal government to their demands.

It was agreed that the committee would examine the complaints of the unions on inconsistencies in their payments by the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

The membership of the five-person committee is drawn from the National Salaries Income and Wages Commission, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, IPPIS, National Universities Commission and Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation.
