ASUU: UniJos VC Urges Lecturers To Resume Lectures


 It's ASUU chapter  to resume Lecturers after the Lecturers threatened to suspend classes about pay.

This appeal by its vice chancellor, Prof. Tanko Ishaya in a news conference on Monday in Jos.

The Lecturers claim that they were only paid 15 days salary by the Federal government after ASUU have agreed with reps that 50 percent of members eight months with held salaries would be paid.


Prevent University education from collapse: prof Ishaya told newsmen that the Lecturers needed to return to lecture theatres to prevent University education from total collapse and urged the union to consider the need of students and parents.

  • "ASUU should please be considerate and compassionate with students and parents and returned to the classroom. I appeal that it  allowed academic activities to go on while further negotiations with the government on payment of withheld salaries continue. We have asked these students to resume; it will be traumatic to ask them to return home again, having spent eight months at home already.


He added that ASUU demand were legitimate for better education, and appeal to the Federal government to address it is demand and stop treating University Lecturers like other civil servant.
   • "I'm not in support of the Strike, but I'm appealing to the Federal government to treat University workers differently when it comes to the implementation of the 'No-Work No-pay' policy.

   • "the role of an academic is not only teaching but there is also research, community service and as one advances on the job, we also play administrative roles

  •"so, I'm appealing to the Federal government to understand that the academic environment is peculiar; it's not like normal civil servant," he said.


For the record: Nairametrics supported earlier that members of the Academic Staff Union Of Universities ASUU, University of Jos chapter, said they would not teach until there withheld salaries were paid.
