The National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT, has called on  the Minister of Education, Malam  Adamu Adamu to ensure that the recently released N8 Billion Naira for payment of earned allowances to non-teaching staff of Federal Universities actually goes to deserving staff and in compliance with the Agreements signed between the Federal Government and the respective non-teaching staff unions.

The union further called on the minister to ensure that the University staff that received what was not due to them (wrongly paid) should be made to refund same.

The union made this call in a communiqué issued at the end of its 39TH National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held Thursday at its National Secretariat, University of Abuja.

The communiqué jointly signed by the union`s President and General Secretary Comrades Sani Suleiman and Iyoyo Hamilton respectively  said  that Vice-Chancellors of Federal Universities must not allow themselves to be intimidated or pressured into paying the money to undeserving staff, saying “NAAT stands by the templates derived from the respective agreements which the Unions signed with FGN in 2009 – as was tendered at the Joint Action Committee (JAC) Unions meeting with NUC officials on 20th December, 2018.”
