FG Urged By NASU To Pay N62bn Earned Allowances To Workers
The Federal Government has been urged by the non-academic staff Union of
Universities to pay an outstanding N62bn earned allowances to their
members.
The unions under the umbrella of the Joint Action Committee of the
Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, the Non-Academic
Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions and the National
Association of Academic Technologists are calling on the President
Goodluck Jonathan’s administration to ensure the payment of the
allowances before handing over to the new administration.
The spokesman for the unions, Mr. Samson Ugwoke said that the Federal
Government refused to make further payments after the initial payment of
N30bn out of a total of N92bn earned allowances.
“N30bn was released as part of the earned allowance and about N62bn has
yet to be released. Everything is about N92bn and you know, the N92bn we
are talking about is for July 2009 to June 2012.”
The union pledged to sustain industrial peace in the universities, and
called on government agencies to avoid acts inimical to the interest of
the unions and their members.
