You can only save when what you earn is enough. If what you earn does not get to the middle of the month before finishing, how would you save?

*speechless*

I don't know but them again, But they were TEMPORARY employed, this knew their job was not secure. If that man left a perfectly good job for this nonsense temporary work, then let him take the blame.

Never a good idea for husband and wife to work for the same employer

Awwww I feel so bad for them

Its a normal procedure to renew the appointment after one year in the University system. All employees were offered temporary appointment before comfirmation. That has been the procedure b4 this new VC came. Not only that, since this year the new VC keep on paying Half salary so my dear the money is not enough not to talk of saving.

Its a Federal government job. Due to security attached to Federal jobs he had to resign from a private firm he was working for before even tho the pay was higher and also to be close to the family. Nobody envisaged this

Mehnnnn

All is well
Can't just begin to imagine the morale in that home!

But it is gonna be alright
Kisses n hugs to them

At least the university will finally pay what they owe the couple...

Let's blame Yorubas for this too - Foolish IPOD

Am also a federal staff uniben to be precise. Now try to read this article carefully and you might see a reason why they were sacked. We were supposed to be paid June salary even before now but due to the disagreement between school management/ union leaders versus accountant General of the federation we were paid today. More employment and sacking should be expected but am lucky I got my regularization and confirmation letter already

UNION LEADERS/SCHOOL MANAGEMENT VERSUS ACCOUNTANT GENERAL/NIGERIANS

Tertiary Institutions workers are yet to get their salary for the month of June. The Accountant General of the Federation refuses to release the salary because most tertiary institutions of education fail to comply with e-Payment requirement. Every institution is required to send names of its workers and their wage profile for direct salary payment into individual salary account from CBN.

Why are the tertiary institutions declining to comply? The e-payment will lead to many unpleasant consequencies against managements of the tertiary institutions. First, ghost workers will be exposed. Unapaid allowances will also be known to ordinary workers. Also underpayment of salary will come to an end. At the end of it all the workers will gain because underpayment and diverted allowances will come directly from the CBN into individual account. The Government will also gain since ghost workers money will be recorvered. This means in terms of gaining, the government and the workers are on the same side. In terms of losing the Management and the union leaders will lose what they cut and divert from wages and allowance and share. We know this to be so because in all the institutions where e-payment is effected, workers gained and management cried bitterly for loss of loots.

Now the battle line is drawn. The union leaders under the covert instigations of their respective managements are threatening to go on strike in the next two weeks. Unfurtunately the workers are kept in the dark about the true nature of the strike. Workers are being misinformed that if Government is allowed to start the e-payment(IPPS) many will lose their jobs and all will get less salary. These liers have gone to the extent of printing fake salary structure showing less money. This is to decieve the workers to give support to their conniving paid union leaders.

Workers must rise up against this planned strike. Workers must be aware that they will be the beneficiaries of this e-payment. If you know any worker where e-payment has already been implimented ask and hear about their benefit. It is called IPPS system.
It is time to say no to the union leaders who always fight only for their own interest.

Whatever the case, Government will not go back on cleaning the system for the good of all ecxept the corrupt administrators and union leaders. If workers allow this strike to go on, they should prepare for indefinite strike without salary. The administrators will eat what they stole, the union leaders will eat your union money, while the workers will turn into beggars as the industrial action goes on throught months. A lot of allowances have not been paid by the administrators , but the union leaders never call for a strike because they get their share. Why now when workers will get paid directly from CBN will the union go on strike?

For those who are observent, they might notice that appointment letters were given to many lucky people from the past five months to date in almost all tertiary institutions. It is part of the benefit of e-payment as the administrators are trying to replace ghost workers with real workers. In FCE Zaria alone I am aware of over two hundred ghost workers. In ABU Zaria, there is similar case where casual workers were included in regular payrol but were being paid pittance as casual workers. As you may notice, unusually many people were employed in ABU for the last five months. This is to cover up ghost space. The same thing is happening in other education and research related institutions. E-payment insisted on by the Accountant General has forced this corrupt and wicked people to employ people to cover ghost spaces. This is the first benefit. Workers will see the next benefit in the recorvery of their diverted allowances and cut salary if they resist the attempt to the fraudulent union leaders to on strike.
Now it is the time for workers to fight for their right to uncut salary and full salary. I believe the simple remedy is for the workers to dissolve any union EXCO that insist on going on strike or that goes on strike without their mandate. I have done my part of enlightening you, the rest is your choice

My thought exactly.

Only if they didnt decide to have 3 children. Hmmmm... Well there is light at the end of the tunnel. It could be turning point for the family though

There's something about this I don't like, why throw people into the labour market in recession, its not nice he can petition the National Assembly or head out to National industrial court to seek redress

They should put on their thinking cap and stop sobbing. They are obviously not a permanent staff, cos it wouldn't have been easy for the VC to take such a unilateral decision.

This is sad

You learn to cut cost and make money work for you

Too bad.
Hope they have alternate source of income.

An advise to all those working; have a side investment/business somewhere.

No job is guaranteed.

It is now that your relative is affected that you want to start fighting for justice ?

The position was temporary..... why did he not have a back up plan?

I hope this new VC didn't throw so many families into sorrow just to prove a useless point.

that Useless Prof Otunta is a very wicked man. That was how he behave when he was in UNIBEN

Business calls

They should petition de visitor and others above de vc

That man is wickedly crafty....... That "temporary employment" heading is kind of misleading.... Tho there are some serious reasons that justifies some sacking....but truth is, the sacking is getting out of hand.... A university that actually lacks enough personnel to lecture doesn't need such landslide sacking without immediate replacement.....
The provision of better lecture halls should be top of His agenda!!!
We students suffer like mad during lectures!!
now, without 70% lecture attendance, no exams for you.... But how do you expect us to pack like Sardines to learn

When tension rises... He finds a way to pacify the students in order to avert protests and blind-fold the gullible ones from seeing the actually problems in the school!!!
