The Nigerian Senate has resolved to take quick measures to avert a looming strike in Nigerian universities.Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union Both groups are threatening to go on strike to demand N30 billion Earned Allowance and to protest the Federal Government’s refusal to obey court judgment on staff school salaries.
“The Senate observed from the allegation that ASUU is being accorded preferential treatment by the federal government because of allocation of 80 per cent of funds released as earned academic allowances while the remaining 20 per cent is allocated to non-academic staff. “It is important for the Senate to intervene to avert any crisis. The universities have faced so many crises leading to low standard of education. There is no Minister of Labour and Education to bring the two warring factions to dialogue. This being the situation, we should not allow this to degenerate. Perhaps an ad-hoc committee should be set up to intervene,” he said.
