AKSU VC DEBUNKS APC's WILD ALLEGATIONS OF NON PAYMENT OF SALARY OWED STAFF.

The Vice Chancellor of Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden, in Mkpat Enin local government area, Professor Eno Ibanga says no single staff of the institution is being owed salary of sixteen months as speculated by the opposition party in the state.

The Vice chancellor who was reacting to set the record straight in an interview said since Governor Udom Emmanuel's assumption of office, staff salaries have been paid as at when due.

Professor Ibanga explained that already, the November 2018 salary has been paid to staff noting that within the next one week, the staff of Akwa Ibom State University should be receiving their December 2018 salary.

"Governor Udom Emmanuel is not owing any staff. As I speak to you today, I don't know where the oppositions are getting the information may be they are the ones owing", the VC said.

The Vice Chancellor stated further that before taking over the administration of the institution, there were issues of staff employment which had nothing to do with the administration of Governor Udom Emmanuel.

Some staff of the University also corroborated the statement of the Vice Chancellor of the University that they were not being owed any salary since Governor Udom Emmanuel assumed office.

It would be recalled that the spokesman of the opposition party, APC in the state, Eseme Eyibo had in one of his interviews on a private radio in Akwa Ibom State alleged that staff of Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden were being owed salaries up to sixteen months by Governor Udom Emmanuel.
