Subsidy Removal: UI Reduces Workdays To Three For Staff

The University of Ibadan, Oyo State, has directed its staff to work for three days a week.

This was made known in a statement released by the institution in a special release with the number 4642, dated August 14, 2023, and signed by G.O. Saliu, Registrar and Secretary to Council.

It stated that the choice was made in light of the recent elimination of Premium Motor Spirit subsidies.

The statement said, “The astronomical increase in the fuel pump price occasioned by the removal of subsidy by the Federal Government has imposed huge economic difficulties on the generality of Nigerians.

"Salary earners who have to commute to work every working day are faced with an aggravation of the condition, given the attendant hike in the transport fare and cost of living.

“After careful consideration of the situation, the University Management recommended a temporary work schedule adjustment for members of staff, which Senate at its meeting of Thursday, 03 August 2023 considered and approved.

"Accordingly, members of staff are now expected to work on-site for three (3) days in rotation per week, with effect from Monday, 14 August 2073.

"It should, however, be noted that those on essential duties are exempted from this adjustment.

“It should be further noted that Management will review the arrangement as the situation improves. Meanwhile, members of staff are to maintain commitment, open communication, and cooperation towards ensuring free workflow, including working from home where and when necessary.

"In light of the foregoing, management seeks the understanding of all Deans, Directors, Heads of Departments and Units towards a smooth implementation of the intervention.”

You're talking rubbish . Aren't you one of the people cheering Buhari led APC on till they finally destroyed what's left of Nigeria economy

The same you were all over the place cheering Tinubu on with his initial gragra policies at the beginning of his government till he finally destroyed everything and anything that Buhari left behind

Stop calling him "Asiwaju" because he has failed even before his government started . I hope the judiciary kick him out soon

Wake up already, Obi has nothing against my Asiwaju in court. He should move on already.
I'm so happy for Asiwaju's win. Awnnn Asiwajummm

It was said that what Buhari could not destroy didn't exist.
Today's saying maybe that "what Tinubu cannot destroy has not been conceived".
A whole University for the first time in its history doing shift days.
Retrenchment all around is just round the corner.
I am so disgusted with this bala blubu.
It's this kind of situation that made the useless military people in Niger to intervene.
Just that military goverments in Africa have been as worse as the civilian ones they overthrow.

Wetin APC no fit destroyed no exist,,Nlfpmod.

Seun should please reduce mynd44 work days to 2.

As long as salaries are paid on due date and complete as usual, then it's a good development.

Good idea.

Welcome development

Breakfast will reach everyone, agbadorians will wish for Buhari to return. Call me IPOB, I don't care

This is a wise decision.

Essentially we are reducing productivity because Tinubu wants to kill us.

Foolishnesses

Good

Labour should fight for something similar.

Even if it's making Friday is work free day. Some Scandinavian countries adopted and they are doing fine.

This news of my university lecturers coming to teach us only 3 times a week MUST FAVOR ME AND MY FAMILY

I sabi say na only their olodo’s and agbadorian members prayer go be that but make una free them jare it’s not easy for their tribesman to be in aso rock

Wittthese.

Them just they start, With Tinubu policies in place people might start going to work one day per week. This I have seen!

Jagaban effect. We never see anything, the east is still coping, na south west and part of northerner still dey cry. By the time the east start feeling the heat, all south west go don finish

So finally all states are now observing "Sit at home"?

What was considered a Haram in the East is now a national policy and being celebrated elsewhere?

Ok.
Will this not affect next Global Universities Ranking of UI ?
Tinubu is likely to break more records than Buhari.
