Strike: FG not against new welfare package for ASUU, SSANU, others — Ngige

ASUU strike to end soon — FG

The Federal Government yesterday said it was in support of renegotiation of the welfare package for University workers in line with current realities.

This is as the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has decided to wade into the face-off between the four university-based unions and the federal government over non-payment of minimum wage arrears, the shortfall in salary payment, renegotiation of the 2009 Agreement and revitalization funds among others.

Speaking at a meeting with members of the 2009 FG and University-based unions renegotiation committee, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige said that the government was not happy with the approach being used by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU to pursue its demands.

Recall that ASUU embarked on a one-month warning strike on February 14 and extended it to another two months at the expiration of the warning strike over the alleged failure of the government to address their demands.

But Senator Ngige at the meeting with the Federal Government Renegotiation Committee in his office pleaded with the committee to ensure that it concludes its assignment within six weeks as provided in the Memorandum of Action, MoA, with the unions.

He asked the re-negotiation team to ensure that it keeps to the six weeks timeline for the conclusion of their assignment.

He said the federal government was aware of the level of depreciation to which the Lecturers earning have been subjected due to the rise in the inflationary rate, adding that he had advised the leadership of ASUU to find a better way of pressurizing the Federal Ministry of Education and National Universities Commission, NUC, to hasten action on the Implementation of agreements reached with the government rather than rushing to strike every time there was a disagreement.

According to him, “I am not Minister of Education. I cannot go to the Education Minister and dictate to him how to run his place. But I told ASUU that you should be bombarding them at the Federal Ministry of Education for this to be moved forward.

“There are many ways to do so. If you go to the labour act, there is something called picketing. You can picket. The strike is an ultimate thing. Picketing means that you can stay in the corridor, clapping or singing. Workers are permitted to do so.

“But I am tired of every time there is a disagreement, it is a strike. And the bosses in the Federal Ministry of Education don’t feel the strike. It is the children and some of us parents that have our children in public schools.”

Speaking on the state of conditions of service of lecturers and other university workers, the Minister said that he had commissioned studies on productivity vis-a-vis emoluments and that the result was that payments done ten years ago when the dollar was strong have now lost value with 100 per cent depreciation.

He said, “Why won’t I support if ASUU and their unions now want a renegotiation of their conditions of service, which is the main thing in the proposal by the previous Committee.”

Chairman of the 2009 FG and University-based union renegotiation Committee, Prof. Nimi Briggs said his Committee was consulting all the stakeholders with a view to finding an amicable solution to the ASUU dispute.

Meanwhile, the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has scheduled to meet with the four university-based unions over the ongoing strike in the Universities.

NLC said it was worried that public universities in the country have been closed down as a result of the strike embarked by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, Non-Academic Staff Union of Allied Educational Institutions, NAAT, and the National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT.

The four unions affiliated with the NLC shut down universities over unresolved issues including difficulties they face with the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS, non-payment of the minimum wage arrears, revatizatipn funds, and nonreview of the 2009 Agreement with the government.

After ASUU commenced strike in February, .SSANU and NASU through its Joint Action Committee, JAC, in March, also embarked on a two-week warning strike following the alleged government failure to address the concerns they raised which includes the nonpayment of minimum wage arrears after many promises made to them by the government.

NAAT also declared its warning strike in early March to press home its demands.

The NLC explained that the scheduled meeting with the four striking unions was to know their level of engagement with the federal government.

General Secretary of NLC, Comrade Emma Ugbaja told Vanguard yesterday that the meeting slated for 10 am on Tuesday at the Labour House is aimed at seeing a way to resolve the face-off between the aggrieved unions and government in the interest of all stakeholders.

Comrade Ugbaja said that it was proper to hear from the unions first before taking any position, adding that the interest of labour was to ensure that the matter was sorted out.
