The ASUU boss said the report was a direct admittance of failure in the administration of the university in the past two years and confirmed the union’s earlier stand that the SIT lacks exposure and knowledge to run the institution.
“The union insists that if there is this ‘massive’ tax fraud in the university, one would have expected the report to disclose the names and identities of the officers/staff involved, the action taken by the SIT, and their prosecution under the relevant rules and regulations of the university or the law of the state.
“The state government cannot claim ignorance that the staff audit exercise authorized by the Omokhodion-led Council found cases of unknown staff and falsification of records in the files of both academic and non-teaching staff. The union has confirmed that efforts to discipline the culprits were crippled by certain government officials.
“The union views the claim that AAU employees receive more salaries compared to UNIBEN staff and they never pay taxes as laughable and a desperate attempt to justify the unilateral, illegal, and unjust alteration of the Consolidated University Academic Salary Structure in the university by SIT. “The SIT didn’t have the intelligence to go to Delta State University and Rivers University of Science and Technology which are state-owned universities to find out what they are earning as salaries. In addition, AAU, Ekpoma has always defaulted in the payment of several allowances, which makes payment of arrears inevitable.
