The Chairman of the University of Ilorin chapter of SSANU, Olusola Falowo, said the union was surprised that note the neglect of its members in the payment of the withheld salaries.
Mr Falowo said the agitation for the release of the withheld funds was championed by the Joint Action Committee of SSANU and NASU, “even before the expiration of the term of the immediate past administration.”
He said: “We have continued to raise this same issue with the new administration, and I can confirm to you that even as early as last week the leadership of JAC still wrote the government on the need to pay our members.
“But I can assure our members that the national leadership is not sleeping over this matter. It will be logically resolved and very soon. The President of SSANU, I am aware, has been engaged in a series of meetings to address this.”
Meanwhile, calls by our reporter to the SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim, were not answered as his telephone line was engaged, and he was yet to call back as of the time of filing this report.
