The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) has rejected the distribution formula adopted for the disbursement of the N50 billion Naira approved by the Federal Government for University based unions.
They urged the federal government to immediately review and reverse the recommended allocation formula, saying that going ahead with the unfair distribution will only breed avoidable resentment and trigger widespread industrial disharmony.
In a joint statement, signed by SSANU president, Mohammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemo, the two unions said the decision to give members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) 80% of the N50 billion and other unions 20% is totally unacceptable.
JAC said: “We have received, with utter disappointment, the information that 80 per cent of the sum has been allocated solely to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), while the remaining 20 per cent is expected to be shared among SSANU, NASU and NAAT. (Thisday)
