University of Ibadan (UI), are preparing for a showdown with the
authorities of the institution over part payment of their salaries and
arrears from January 2016 to May.
The Chairman ASUU, University of Ibadan Chapter, Dr Deji Omole who
disclosed this on Tuesday, stated that the union members had reached
their patience limit and had therefore resolved to receive their full
salaries from the Federal Government and not part-payment of their
salaries again.
He said, "Since January 2016, salaries have not been paid in full and
deduction were not remitted and we have been showing understanding
because we were told things will change once the budget is signed by the
president but immediately after signing the budget he implemented
increment is fuel pump price rather than meeting our welfare needs."
While reacting, the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof Abel Idowu
Olayinka explained that the Federal Government is presently owing the
institution the sum of N782 million as shortfall on personnel cost which
had compelled the university not to be able to pay full salaries and remit
full deductions to staff unions and cooperatives.
It will be recalled that students of the university were sent home recently
following protests against lack of water and power in the campus.
