The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Sunday accused the Federal Government and Office of the Accountant General of the Federation of non-payment of salaries of its members.
The union alleged that the federal government and the office of the Accountant General of the Federation are denying its members salaries running between two to 10 months despite suspending the strike on “no victimisation clause”.
ASUU maintained that while members are back at their duty posts to work, the harsh economy being experienced due to unpaid salaries and non-refund of deducted check-off dues will affect productivity.
ASUU Chairman at the University of Ibadan, Professor Ayo Akinwole in a statement made available to DAILY POST maintained that the federal government has refused to remit union deductions it made to the account of Union with a plan to stifle the union.
He warned that if pushed to the limit, withdrawal of work in the nearest future may be inevitable.
Akinwole said that while the government is paying outstanding five months salaries for those on the nominal role at an agonisingly slow pace, over one hundred UI academic staff are being owed salaries ranging between two to ten months.
He disclosed that those newly employed in February 2020 have not received any penny with suffering on their families and dependants because they maintained their stand to reject enrolment on the IPPIS.
