Ibadan—The Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has accused management of the University of
Ibadan of planning to pay academic staff only one year promotion arrears even
when promotion announcement of academic staff was delayed by the
management and
announced almost five or four years after the person was due for the promotion.
In a statement by
its chairman, Dr Deji Omole and Secretary, Dr Peter Olapegba, respectively,
ASUU said the move would be resisted with all its vigour.
According to the
letter that had been forwarded to the Vice-Chancellor, they said the proposal
is antithetical to the welfare of members of the union.
The union leaders
argued that lateness in announcing promotion was not the fault of the
candidates but that of the administration.
While insisting that all those owed
the promotion arrears must be paid in full, they warned that the proposal would
not guarantee industrial peace when welfare of their members is threatened.
They advised the Vice Chancellor and his team to think of ways to refine the
promotion procedure so that people are promoted as at when due.
It therefore asked
the University Administration to continue to pay promotion arrears of academic
staff in full as at when due.
