FUOYE Staff Protest VC's Alleged Victimization, Demand Removal. by hotboz: 8:42pm On Dec 18, 2014 |
The staff of Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State, on Thursday protested alleged victimisation and high handedness by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Isaac Azuzu. The aggrieved staff blocked the Ado-Lokoja-Abuja federal highway as early as 7a.m and made bonfire. Youths in the town capitalised on it by blocking alternative routes where they demanded money from commuters before they could be allowed passage. The aggrieved staff accused the VC of non-payment of allowances and non-remittance of tax deducted from their salaries to the appropriate quarters. Roads leading to the university and the main gate were blocked thereby preventing top management staff and visitors into the school. The university was among the nine federal universities established by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011. A staff, Mr. Ojo Foluso, lamented that the management of the school was cheating them, adding that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has not responded to their request for probe. Foluso alleged that VC would return N400 million to the Federal Ministry of Education as unspent budget for 2014 this December when workers were languishing in suffering. One of the academic staff, a PhD holder, who spoke with journalists under condition of anonymity because there had yet to be a union in the institution alleged that the VC and the bursar had been denying the staff relocation and hazard allowances. He said, “No to anti-transformational agenda. Oye/Ido/Osi axis is volatile politically in the history of the country, but we are for President Jonathan. That is why we want him to wade into this matter without delay. “Under normal circumstances, each senior staff ought to receive between N1.2m to N1.5 million as relocation allowance as introduced by the federal government in 2007. But we were only paid N252,000 in three installments when our agitations were becoming so deafening. “To end all these problems, we call on the university to implement the recommendations of the Prof Aganga- committee which stated that tax must no longer be based on consolidation but be worked based on basic salaries of all workers and the excess deductions must be refunded to all workers without delay. “Again, the National Housing Scheme which the management has mandated should be made optional while all allowances being paid in Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State and in Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State and other Federal Universities established in 2011 should be paid without delay.” When journalists visited the institution, a security man at the gate said the VC was not available. Efforts to reach him on phone was also not successful as his telephone indicated switch off. http://www.punchng.com/news/varsity-staff-protest-vcs-alleged-victimisation-demand-removal/ |
