SSANU warns against ‘unjust’ sharing of N40bn earned allowances

The Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities has asked the Federal Government to ensure a fair sharing of the N40 billion earned allowances approved for the Universities unions.

It said the government should ensure that the money passed through the universities councils which it said had the template of the sharing formula.

The PUNCH had reported that the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige and the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, agreed to increase the earned allowances for universities unions from N35b to N40b during a meeting in Abuja on Friday.

The FG also agreed to exempt ASUU from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System pending the vetting of its proposed payment system, the University Transparency and Accountability Solution.

But the President of SSANU, Mohammed Ibrahim, said his union would resist the introduction of any other payment platform “except the one being conceived by the Joint Action Committee comprising SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union.”

He also warned the government to be “wary of any group or union that would present any payment platform apart from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, which is the one recognised by the government to curb corruption within the system.”

Ibrahim said the FG has no business sharing money to the unions as each university has a governing council which is the employer of all workers and the highest policy-making body of each university.

He said the university administration through the registry and bursary units has the responsibility of knowing who should earn what, and advised the government to channel whatever amount they are giving through the councils.

Ibrahim insisted that the government “must either do right and treat all unions equitably or be ready to face another round of industrial unrest in the university system.”

He said, “We are ready to take the government head-on if an unjust disbursement of earned allowances is contemplated.

“The government should be ready to face the full wrath of SSANU and the outcome may be an eye-opener for those who have always underestimated SSANU and assume that the welfare of the non-teaching unions can be treated with levity at the expense of other categories of staff. I wish to tell people who think that way that they may be in for a shocker.”

Trying to reap where you did not sow is sin.

The so called SSANU should know this.

Please shatup there

I saw them chanting "solidarity" songs on tv asif they care about the students or their lives and time that is wasting away, greedy men

ASUU is a corrupt union fighting to keep looting money thru Gifmiss without transparency

The fvck

Niggarr!!

Time for them to share their own palliatives!

This corn tree na wa!

D only tin dey are happy about.... to share the money.
That is the only tin to make dem cum.
They don't care about how long we stay at home.
Na only just to dey share the money.
Thieves everywhere.

Lol...after ASUU don go hustle the money finish,una don get mouth.

their problem not ours

Money wahala

After Assu strike is over, expect SSANU and NASU strike




And then finally, another ASUU strike because I'm sure the government will renege on their agreements with them in a few months time because I'm so sure other government agencies will bring out their own payments platform and then they'll be forced to abandon the UTAS.

And the Nigerian Students keep suffering




Sighs

The govt should adjust their IPPIS system to accomodate ASUU. I don't think it's obtainable for an employee to tell an employer how to pay them.

O necessary

Y'all have a nice week... practice peace

Ok

Q

The students are the ones suffering this whole thing. After staying at home


An extra year added to their academic calendar

But these ASUU people will get paid in a moment

I just hope universities get equipped after these whole saga


Coz it will be quite unfortunate

Its is Earned Academic Allownce (EAA). So I wonder why SSANU members see themselves as Academic Staff. Monkey work baboon want chop. Not anymore!

Wow

Ok

Truth be told, how can earned allowance that is the right of all staff in the university be cornered by a section of staff. Whether you are the one that attracted or not, everyone should get his due.

Ask yourself, if ASUU takes larger share of EA that every staff is entitled to, just because they made more noise about it, are they any different from the politicians they're fighting?

Awon ole

Thieves..
