The Presidency, through the National
Salaries, Incomes and Wages
Commission, has directed the Vice-
Chancellor of the Federal University,
Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Prof. Mobolaji
Aluko, to refund over-payment of
salaries running into millions of
naira.

The Registrar of the university, David
Suowari, was also directed to refund
cumulatively the sum of N130,692.71
per month in excess of his due
salary.
The over-payments were said to have
been discovered during the
commission’s visit to the institution
on May 12, 2015 to carry out
inspection of FUO’s remuneration
practices vis-a-vis the extant
government’s pay policy.
The VC and the Registrar were
accused of appropriating certain
allowances to themselves that were
not approved by the government.
These concerns were raised in a
letter from NSIWC to Aluko, signed
for the Chairman of the Commission
by the Director of Compensation,
Chike Ogbechie.
The commission said, “The findings
of the inspection in respect of your
institution (Federal University,
Otuoke) were as follows:
“The Vice-Chancellor was being paid
total emoluments of N1,970,476.76
monthly, whereas he should not earn
more than N922,810.23 if he were
paid furniture allowance en bloc
earlier, or N1,043,176.79 if he were
being paid furniture allowance.
“Much of the difference was
attributed to certain allowances
which were not approved by the
government.”
In the case of the Registrar, the
commission said the Registrar was
being paid N130,692.71 in excess of
his due salary of N502,580.25.
The commission also said the
university disaggregated its staff
salaries, against government’s policy
of pay consolidation. The NSIWC,
therefore, directed the university to
stop “the wrongful practices” and
comply with relevant rules and rates.
The commission added, “We hereby
direct the Vice-Chancellor and the
Registrar to refund the cumulative
overpayments made to them

All the Universities in Nigeria should be properly investigated. Apart from overpayment of salaries, ghost lecturers abound.

Mrs johnathan and wike are to be held responsible for this overpayment.
Wike was the minister for educstion and all this happened under his watch.
