FACT TO KNOW ABOUT IMSU ASUU STRIKE

ASUU DEMANDS
-
NEW SALARY STRUCTURE
- PAYMENT OF SALARY
- PAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING ALLOWANCES

FACTS IMSU ASUU SHOULD CONSIDER AND CALL OFF THEIR STRIKE

1. THE STATE GOVERNMENT IN 2011 INCREASED THE MONTHLY SUBVENTION FROM 56.7 MILLION TO 295 MILLION.

2. THE STATE GOVERNMENT HAS PAID THE ACADEMIC AND NON ACADEMIC STAFF OF IMSU THEIR SALARIES UP TO MARCH 2016 IN FULL, WHILE OTHER WORKERS INCLUDING POLITICAL APPOINTEES GOT PAY CUT OF 30%.

3. IMSU STAFF ARE ONLY OWED APRIL SALARIES AND THIS IS SO BECAUSE THE FEDERAL ALLOCATION FOR APRIL IS YET TO BE RECEIVED FROM FAAC.

4. THE STATE GOVERNMENT INHERITED
ABOUT 800 MILLION NAIRA DEBT TO STAFF WHICH IT HAS CLEARED

5. ALSO INHERITED ALLOWANCES OF OVER A BILLION NAIRA AND HAS CLEARED UP TO 70% WITH A PROMISE TO CLEARED ALL ONCE THE ECONOMY IMPROVES

IMO ECONOMY TODAY
1. PRIOR TO THE FALL OF CRUDE OIL IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET, IMO RECEIVED ABOUT 4 BILLION NAIRA MONTHLY BUT SINCE MID 2015 TILL DATE, THE STATE NOW GETS AN AVERAGE OF 1.5 BILLION NAIRA. IMO IGR IS LESS THAN 400 MILLION NAIRA MONTHLY.

IMSU IGR:
THE STATE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INTERFER WITH THE INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUE OF IMO STATE UNIVERSITY. THE REVENUE SOURCES ARE FROM THE FOLLOWING:
- PRE-DEGREE
- ICEP
- POST GRADUATE PROGRAMS (PGD, MS.c, PhD)
- NON INDIGENES SCHOOL FEES AMONGST OTHER SOURCES

THE ISSUE AT STAKE.

IT HAS BEEN ALLEGED THAT THE PRIMARY AIM OF THIS STRIKE ACTION IS TO STOP THE FREE EDUCATION POLICY OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT. BUT THE STAFF HAS TO REALISE THAT THE INCREASED SUBVENTION FROM 56.7 MILLION TO 300 MILLION IS TUITION INCLUSIVE THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THAT THE STATE GOVERNMENT BEARS THE BURDEN.
