The Delta State University, Abraka, has temporarily suspended implementation of the controversial duty register it recently introduced for its staff. The institution’s Registrar, Mr Daniel Urhibo, announced the suspension through a memo dated August 10, copies of which were circulated among staff unions in the university. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the suspension came barely four days after the DELSU branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities rejected the policy. In it, the union said the ‘‘clock-in and clock-out’’ policy was a threat to the globally cherished non-negotiable autonomy of the university. The memo stated that with effect from August 1, academic staff members were to “clock-in and clock-out each time they resume and close from duties.”(NAN)(Visited 328 times, 7 visits today)
