This is as the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities, SSANU has expressed disappointment over the government’s refusal to honor its promise to pay the arrears of the new national minimum wage that was approved since April 2020.
Recall that the Federal Government had allocated 75% of the total N40bn Earned Allowance to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, leaving 25% for the other three unions to share.
The three unions to share the twenty-five per cent are NAAT, SSANU, and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU.
This development has drawn the ire of the unions and they have threatened to ensure that universities remain under lock and key till the government addresses the alleged imbalance in the sharing formula.
Apart from the disparity in the sharing formula of the said Earned Allowances, SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim has lamented that nine months after the new minimum wage was approved, his members and other staff of tertiary institutions were yet to collect arrears of the new wage.
