Nigerian Governors Shouldn’t Open Universities They Cannot Fund – SSANU

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities has come out to warn governors against politicising education by establishing universities they cannot fund.

SSANU recently revealed this via a statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to the association, union is concerned that the non-teaching units of the universities are being usurped by teaching staff in violation of the condition of service and establishment procedures, and the government has to address that.

SAANU added that both federal and state governments still owe the arrears of earned allowances derived from federal government/SSANU 2009 agreement, and nothing has been done to settle these debts.

It read, “The union is concerned that the non-teaching units of the universities are being usurped by teaching staff in violation of the condition of service and establishment procedures.”

“Pending cases of earned allowances, the union noted that both federal and state governments still owe the arrears of earned allowances derived from federal government/SSANU 2009 agreement.”

“We demand the full payment and implementation of same in staff monthly salaries.”

“We are against the forcefull retirement of our members at the age of 60 in violation of 65 years agreement in state universities.”
