SSANU, NASU to receive half of rate of withheld salaries – Training minister, Mamman

The Federal Authorities has made plans to offset wage backlogs of contributors of the Senior Workers Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, and the Non-Tutorial Workers Union, NASU.

The Minister of Training, Prof. Tahir Mamman, printed this right by an interview on Channels Tv’s Politics On the present time.

He said the unions will receive half of of their withheld salaries pending approval from President Bola Tinubu.

He clarified that the choice to compensate tutorial crew became as soon as discretionary and does no longer robotically delay to non-tutorial crew.

In step with him, the non-tutorial crew contributors of universities weren’t on strike for the identical length in 2022 as their tutorial counterparts.

He said the authorities has been “doing every thing conceivable to derive relief for them.”

Newspot recalls that in 2022, all university unions launched into an eight-month strike, advocating for improved welfare conditions.

While aged President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration implemented a ‘No Work, No Pay’ policy, Tinubu current the unlock of 4 months of the withheld salaries last October, despite the proven truth that factual for the educational crew.

Addressing allegations of discrimination, Mamman emphasised the solidarity of cause amongst university crew, dismissing any intentional exclusion but quite attributing it to initial communication challenges.

“There is a courtroom judgement on ‘no work, no pay.’ ASUU getting four months’ pay became as soon as no doubt a discretion and decision on the half of the President.

“ So, it doesn’t robotically transfer (to NASU and SSANU) however the matter is under consideration.

“I don’t agree with it is protected to position a time on it but it no doubt’s safer to swear that we’re on it and we’re pushing.

“And despite every thing, the non-tutorial crew, weren’t on strike for the identical length with the educational crew — about four months or so.

“So, in the event that they’re getting rate, it will most likely presumably presumably be half of of that (rate), if the President will put collectively his precedent with the educational crew,” the minister emphasised.
