The JAC, which comprises members from the National Association of Academic Technologist (NAAT) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), made this position public in a press briefing over on Thursday in Abuja.
In the joint briefing by their leaders Comrade S.C. Ugwuoke (SSANU), Mrs Ladi Iliya (NASU) and Alhaji Sani Suleiman (NAAT), the association criticized the federal government for non-implementation of its agreement with non-teaching staff of universities in 2009, noting that it has deferred its strike as a mark of respect to the President-elect.
“We heartily congratulate the President-elect for the electoral victory but wish to remind him that he is inheriting debilitating labour issues in the universities,” they said.
The JAC listed the sack 58 staff of Usman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto; the crisis in the Abia State University, Uturu; and the University of Nigeri, Nsukka. Other issues are the: funding of universities’ primary schools and secondary schools, non-completion of the payment of earned allowances as it concerns the 2009 agreements among others.
