The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has urged the Federal Government to rescind its decision to stop funding universities’ staff schools.
According to SSANU’s National Vice-President, Western Zone, Mr Alfred Jimoh, the association might go ahead with its planned strike should the Federal Government privatise the schools.
Jimoh said that the association, which had in June carried out a peaceful protest over the issue, had received a circular to the proposed privatisation.
He said the circular from the Federal Ministry of Education had directed the vice-chancellors of federal universities to stop accommodating teachers of staff schools in their emolument structure.
He warned that the strike, which would be unprecedented, would not only affect students and the education sector, but would also question the current administration’s promise of creating employment for Nigerians.
The unionist urged the government to reconsider its stand on the issue in order not to allow the peace being enjoyed in the universities currently to be truncated. (NAN)
