How 24 Universities Allegedly Shared N23 Billion Causing Fresh Crisis In Nigerian Universities

By -


PREMIUM TIMES has obtained the
full details of how N23 billion
disbursed to Nigerian universities to
settle earned allowances and arrears
was shared among 24 universities.


University staff, members of four unions, are
currently engaged in a verbal war over the
modalities for sharing the money.
The money was part of the N220 billion the
government pledged to the schools, which is an
integral part of a resolution reached to address
the last strike embarked on by unions over the
non-implementation of previous agreements.
The sharing of the money as released by the
government has resulted in a crisis among the
unions.
The Joint Action Committee, JAC, comprising the
Senior Staff Association of Nigerian
Universities, SSANU, Non-Academic Staff Union
of Universities, NASU, and the National
Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT,
believe they have been short-changed by their
counterparts in the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU.
On Thursday, the JAC announced the
commencement of a nationwide strike over the
matter. The strike is expected to begin from
Monday, December 3.
The sharing formula shows the exact amount
meant for each university, which is further
broken down to the specific amounts allocated
to the respective unions.
The documents reveals that out of the N23
billion that was approved, the university
lecturers got about 75 per cent, approximately
N18.38 billion while N4.61 billion was given to
the non-teaching staff.
However, these specific amount given varied for
each university.
According to the document, the Ahmadu Bello
University, ABU, got the highest share of the
money at N2.4 billion. Out of the money
allocated to ABU, N2 075,440,687.64 was
allocated to ASUU while N331 087,210.45 was
given to the non-teaching staff.
Similarly, the University of Ilorin got the lowest
share as N207 586,734.09 was allocated for the
school. The entire N207 586,734.09 was
allocated to the non-teaching staff and nothing
was allocated to the teaching staff.
Also, N447 181,088.75 was allocated to
University of Nigeria. The money was given to
the non-teaching staff while ASUU got nothing.
Meanwhile, N1 739,406,074.68 was allocated to
the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, in
which N1 571,133,153.50 was given to ASUU
while the non-teaching staff got N168
272,921.18. The sum of N958,253,775.07 was
allocated to the University of Lagos, while N935
033,419.92 was allocated to ASUU,
N23,220,355.15 was meant for the non-teaching
staff. (PremiumTimes)

Long queues of vehicle have resurfaced at filling stations in Abuja following a widespread rumor of an impending increase in the pump price of fuel.

At the Total filling station in the Central Business District, the queue extended towards the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) building. Queues were noticed in other stations in the city while black marketers went to the streets to sell their product.
