The National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC) yesterday declared that the Federal Government would not pay salaries of staff schools in the tertiary institutions.
The Executive Chairman of the Commission, Chief Richard Egbule, made this known at a news briefing in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the University workers under the aegis of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) had threatened to embark on strike for non-funding of staff schools by the Federal Government.
Egbule said the proposed strike action by SSANU was uncalled for as government was not responsible for the funding of staff schools in higher institutions.
