Non-academic staff of the University of Ibadan under the aegis of Non-Academic Staff Union and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities on Monday commenced a 14-day warning strike.
The unions warned upon the lapse of the warning strike, members would embark on an indefinite strike, should the federal government fails to accede to its demands.According to the striking staff, a full-blown strike will see workers entirely withdraw their services from critical departments like Jaja clinic, teaching and research farm, zoological garden among others.
The members who converged for a congress at UI, resolved to write the national body that if a full-blown strike is declared, it should not be called off until the Federal Government attends to all its demands.Addressing the congress, UI SSANU chairman, Mr Wale Akinremi who was accompanied by his NASU counterpart, Mr Malachy Etim, urged the Federal Government to meet with the non-academic union within the 14 days of the warning strike to address all its lingering issues.
Others include non-payment of retirement benefits to outgone members; lack of seriousness and delay by the government in the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/NASU and SSANU Agreement; neglect and poor funding of state universities; corruption in the university system and non-constitution of Visitation Panels for universities.
This is uncalled for, especially this trying time.
