ASUU warns UNILORIN on ‘plan’ to share N30b fund

 

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned the authorities of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) not to share the N986.7 million earned allowance disbursed to it by the Federal Government until the end of the ASUU strike.

The Zonal Coordinator of ASUU (Ilorin Zone), Dr Ayan Adeleke, spoke yesterday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

He said the authentic ASUU Chairman at UNILORIN, Dr. Taiwo Oloruntoba-Oju, had conveyed the position of the union to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof AbdulGaniyu Ambali, that the struggle for funding was still going on.

The lecturer warned that universities should not betray the struggle by disbursing the earned allowances until the end of the agitation for the union’s demands.

It was learnt that UNILORIN workers were discussing with the university’s management the modalities to share the university’s share of the N30 billion earned allowances from the Federal Government.

Dr Adeleke, who denounced the Prof Wahab Egbewole-led faction, said: “The group had been declared illegal by the National Industrial Court. Whatever they are doing is illegal.”
