The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has called on well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on the Federal Government and President Muhammadu Buhari to as a matter of fact ordered erring universities to reinstate the university staff school teachers to the university payroll and pay all their outstanding arrears of salary in order not to jeopardize the current peace currently being enjoyed in all universities across the country. This was disclosed by the National vice president and chairman western zone of the association, Comrade Alfred Jimoh, while addressing journalists at the union secretariat, University of Ibadan, on Monday. According to him: ”The federal government took SSANU to the industrial court in Abuja to seek the interpretation of a clause in the 2009 FGN\SSANU agreement which says: The University shall be responsible for the capital and recurrent expenditure of the staff primary school. It is, therefore, surprising to see the government who had earlier boasted that it would abide by the ruling of the court prevaricating over the implementation of the court judgment. “We, therefore, use this medium to call on well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on the federal government and Mr. President Muhammad’s Buhari to do the needful by reinstating the university staff school teachers to the university payroll and pay all their outstanding arrears of salary.”On earned allowance, Jimoh said the contentious issue is yet to be resolved in the federal universities.
