Kaduna Tertiary Institution Workers Suspend Month-Long Strike

Striking workers at Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions have suspended their month-long industrial action after Governor Uba Sani approved a new salary structure. The agreement was reached during a meeting between the governor and the Joint Union of Tertiary Institutions (JUTIKS), facilitated by the state's chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). The key outcome is the approval and immediate implementation of 70% of the 2024 CONPCASS/CONTEDISS salary structure for both academic and non-academic staff. The government also approved a 65-year retirement age for staff. The unions, which began the strike on September 30th, have expressed appreciation for the governor's "listening leadership" and commitment to workers' welfare. With this development, academic activities are expected to resume in the affected institutions.

ASUU Laments FG’s Delay, Demands Tangible Offer

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has expressed frustration over what it described as the Federal Government’s continued inaction on issues affecting its members.

On Thursday, the Minister of State for Education, Tunji Alausa, revealed that a technical committee, chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education, Abel Enitan, was drafting a refined proposal to present to ASUU. “We’ve decided on a counter-proposal to them. We now close by setting up a high-level technical team to clean up our proposal, come with a clean document,” Alausa explained.

Akpabio Urges Nigerians to Safeguard Public Facilities

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged Nigerians to take responsibility for protecting and maintaining government-owned facilities in their communities. He made the appeal on Tuesday during the commissioning of constituency projects in Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, Akpabio said his role as a lawmaker is to provide projects that benefit the people, while citizens must ensure the facilities are well-maintained. “You, as the beneficiaries of these projects, owe the government a duty to protect the facilities so that they won’t be vandalised or destroyed by enemies of progress,” he said. Akpabio stressed that communities should “own” the projects, noting that neglect or vandalism discourages further government investment. He also reaffirmed the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration to grassroots development and economic empowerment. […]

ASUU Rejects FG Loan Offer, Calls It a Greek Gift

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, has rejected the federal government’s loan proposal for lecturers, describing it as a “Greek gift.” During a special congress held on campus Tuesday, the union said its members were not interested in loans but in the fulfillment of existing welfare agreements. Speaking to members after a solidarity march from the university’s main gate, the UNILAG Branch Chairman, Prof. Idowu Kehinde, stressed that the government should focus on paying lecturers their entitlements rather than offering loans. “The loans are to be guaranteed by our union. This is unnecessary. University governing councils can already provide loans to staff based on their conditions of service. If we are paid a living wage and our allowances are settled as agreed, no one will need to borrow money. Let the government do the […]
