ASUU warns Unilorin against sharing of earned allowances

Ayan Adeleke, zonal coordinator of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Ilorin Zone, have asked the authorities of the University of Ilorin not to share the ₦986.7 million earned allowance disbursed to it by the Federal Government until the current strike embarked upon by the Union is over.

Adeleke, while speaking in Ibadan recently said the position of the Union had already been conveyed to Abdul Ganiyu Ambali, the vice chancellor of the University, through Taiwo Oloruntoba-Oju, the authentic ASUU chairman of Unilorin.

While saying that the struggle for funding is still ongoing, Adeleke warned that the University should not betray the struggle by disbursing the earned allowances. It was learnt that workers in the University of Ilorin early Wednesday engaged themselves and the University management over modalities for sharing of the University’s share of the ₦30 billion disbursed to universities by the Federal Government.

Adeleke, who denounced the Wahab Egbewole faction, added that “the group had been declared illegal by the National Industrial Court, adding that whatever they are doing is illegal.”Also speaking on the issue, Segun Ajiboye, chairman of ASUU in the University of Ibadan said “it is the height of immorality for these fellows in Ilorin to be squabbling over the proceeds of a struggle that they did not participate in.”
